Denying it exists doesn't work either.
The whip on your car may be a little different than mine or others because of variances in the densities of the crank metal, couterbalance weight differences, differences in machining of the journals, and different bearing clearances. You may have a "loose" motor and the whip doesn't extend past clearance. Another car may have a "tight" motor and the whip hits the bearing.
I am glad you never had a problem with it and I hope you never do. But some have and some will and it is good to discuss reasons and ways to prevent it. The DMD is one way to reduce the displacement in whip by dampening the vibration displacement.
1)Boy I don't get how people make there conclusions on others comments. Where in my post did I say anything about NVH not being a Problem, because I sure don't see it!! My comment about me not having a problem, was giving members here a sense of relief. The fact of the matter is this issue has been inflated so many times over. GET with the PROGRAM already, if harmonics bother you so much, instead of trying to find an answer, answered many times, just get the DMD! Our fellow CEG'er here is looking to nitpick into the whole NVH issue to find other possible answers, FOR WHAT? Does he or anyone for that matter Honestly think talking about something "I consider Old NEWS," change anything, IMO I don't think so.
2)Denying it doesn't exist!! WTF, were did that comment come from. I clearly stated I tried to get an Aftermarket Damper off the ground. I was head first in this whole NVH issue when it blew up over a year ago, and obviously I'm fully aware of the problem.
3) 
First I'll shake my head, then I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, that you thought I wasn't aware of variances in motors! And NO, it's not good to discuss a topic thats been discussed so many times, with the same response, same answer every time out IMO.
Try not to take this as an attack, I'm trying to make you see that you've misinterpeted my comment above. By the way, OIL does play a factor even in these situations, and even as I mentioned in my above comment, 'TO AN EXTENT!'
