Gold, my friend.
Pure gold.

Don't know, don't care. If it sounds good it is good. Often buying something just because it has what you "think", works for you, in it, is a fail. As an example you can put the same ingredients in a dish you might cook, and have it come out 10 different ways. That's why I tend not to look at details past the point of seeing that it has what is required for my needs. If it's something more technical, perhaps, does it meet the demands (I.e.,
power, volume) requirements of the job?
For another example, my Bergantino cabs have proprietary speakers that Jim has specked out with eminence. I don't need to know the gory details to know they sound great.
With strings I tend to go with nickel more often than not, although I've used stainless, "Blue Steel" and many many others. yada yada yada, whatever, I'm just concerned whether zthey feel right and that they sound right, past that I don't want to have to think about that other stuff. Let the manufacturer worry about it. And I'm pretty OCD. Lol
Occasionally it's best to just not overthink it. Or, WTH, Go ahead, overthink it.

Oh, did you hear, CORE WIRE is playing SXSW. This year!

It would seem to me that that information, along with whether it is hex or round, is easily ascertained with a micrometer. The core is exposed at both ends. This is where the comparison to Coca-Cola fails—you can't take Coke apart into its components.

You can take Coca-cola apart. You just need to invest in some specialized equipment to do the chromatography and spectroscopy required.

Newtonestrings display clearly what corewire is used...it is one of the options to select, when ordering . I like round core strings.
I've been using Newtone strings for many years and like them a lot!
In part because of their flexibility in regards to 'custom' requests

Core diameter is related to flexibility and inharmonicity.

What would you do with this information?

Sure. I had Quantitative Chemical Analysis in college. But knowing chemical components is not the same as knowing ingredients.

What would you do with this information?

Make different/more informed choices I suspect.

What would you do with this information?

Play around with different core diameters to see whether I preferred stiffer, less-harmonic strings, or more flexible, more-harmonic strings.

Rabbit hole. Yep.
