Thats not surprising to me bill when you were a kid the wheels were made of wood    All jokes aside try it next time it really does work and apparently lets the tube run at a cooler temp but I've always done it just for the ease of removal.

Yes I have used it on all tire changes involving tubes.   Think about it this way.  Whenever you buy a new tire tube notice the white powder coating it?   Also have you ever had to put on an old style wetsuit same thing talcum powder is slippery stuff.
