Brass kills tone quicker than you can blink and Seth Lover knew this. This guy doesn't have the knowledge that pickup makers have; I tried to correspond with him once and he wasn't very friendly at all. I'm sure if any other pickup makers here want to pipe in, especially Nugget, they can point out other mistakes in the information. I guess some valid info is better than none. Lindy Fralin has a two part article on the web which is much more accurate. As I said before don't believe everything you read just because its on the web.
Here's Lindy's info:
www.FlyingVintage.com - Guitar Collector's Magazine - October 2001 Issue - Lonnie Mack: Mr. Flying V and His Gibson Signature Guitar
www.FlyingVintage.com - Guitar Collector's Magazine - November 2001 Issue - A Few Secrets About Gibson PAF Pickups, with Lindy Fralin: Part 2

Knowledge of PAF's is not my strong suit so I just copied and pasted what little I could find on the internet !! That's why I would love for Winders to give us the facts !!!
