Oh, I wasn’t disagreeing with you. The 2 times I’ve used HF was enough for me. While sulfuric is definitely not the strongest, many lists ranking the “strength of acids” have it on top. I assume that’s where OP got that idea.
Someone else posted Fluoroantimonic acid, which seems like the one (at least for Hammett acidity function).
Why would that be your first choice when stuff like hydrofluoric acid exists?
HF isn’t that “strong” of an acid. It’s very dangerous due to it being a pretty bad contact poison.
The post literally says dangerous though. And there are way “stronger” acids than sulfuric acid too so the post still doesn’t make sense
