How can you trust values on salt that has been documented to drop KH IN 3 hrs if you dont dump it into the tank? How does that even make sense?

IO is still some of the best if you dose chemicals.

Documented where?.....in an actual article by someone who knows something, or on a forum somewhere?........every salt ever made will have its share of bad reviews/experiences if you dig deep enough and the fact is I know of a lot of salts that have had "bad batches" (and even garbage in them).....for most brands life goes on.......for others it doesnt.......seachem is one of those brands that have been around long enough to not be crap.......

and just for the record .....H2Ocean .....over a year without dosing a thing

Personal experience, then when i had Problems I asked locally, when I found other people were having the same problem I went to Reef Central and found alot of people had the same issue.
