You claimed that slabs can *sink* even if they are less dense: exactly
the kind of non sense that I can expect from a plate tectonics zealot.

I said that slabs of less density can sink if they have lots of mass
weighing down on [...]

No. You claimed that slabs can sink down to the bottom of the mantle
even if slabs are less dense than the mantle. That is plain wrong.

The rest is backpedaling and is actually not the current consensus in
Plate tectonics since it is said that the slab is denser than the
mantle, sink and *pull* the crust at the surface.

Obviously, you refuse to read any paper proving you're wrong (Stern's
review on subduction in EPSL), like any other crank.
