But if you cite the superficial benefits of fluoride on dental health you can sell your byproduct to the stupid public officials that eventually add it to your water. You've just made a decent profit off of something that was going to cost you.
An element can't be a byproduct because you can't manufacture elements except for with a nuclear reaction.It can be a contaminant, though.
Hey retard, we've discovered several elements via them being a byproduct of reactions we already knew.
A byproduct is just a product inadvertently made while producing something else. This can be incidental or secondary (IE deliberate.) There are no hard or fast rules on what can or can't be a byproduct.
While you're right that we can't manufacture elements out of whole cloth, we can derive them from other elements through interaction and reaction.
Sodium fluoride is a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer, aluminum, and iron ore manufacturing. Direct words from the NCBI. For example, the neutralization of two byproducts from fluorapatite in phosphate rock to make superphosphate creates the byproduct sodium fluoride.
Neon was discovered because two English chemists knew that the creation of liquid air, would give them a strange gaseous- neon THE BYPRODUCT OF LIQUID AIR!
Aside from all of this, this discussion was about fluoride being safe for consumption, not it's creation or make up. Don't move goalposts honey.

Gas fractionation from cryogenic liquified air is simply separating the constituent gases from the whole. It does NOT create new elements or gases in the process. This is a bad analogy to use in your defense.
How retarded are you? Reading comprehension not your strong suit? I said we don't create elements out of thin air? We manufacture them through chemical processes all the time dumb fuck.
When Ramsey and Travers boiled off the neon from liquified air they manufactured neon moron. Did the neon exist beforehand? Yes, but their derivation of it would fit the concept of manufacturing.
We manufacture many things out of their constituent parts whether chemically or through other means.
No one claimed they just had a fucking incantation and neon showed up you dimwitted shit Gibbon.
Gas fractionation is actually an apt comparison. It's a chemical process where today we mostly manufacture a derivative of carbon. They used gas fractionation granted a very simple form to derive neon. Exactly as I said.
That being said you're entirely wrong about not being able to create elements. Twenty-four of those fucking things sitting on that table were created from nearly nothing because humans are fucking crazy.
Once more you've also moved the goalposts. We were discussing the safety of sodium fluoride, not my perfect analogy now fuck off you mealy-mouthed kike.

You can't manufacture elements without a nuclear reaction. Period.
Oh no.... It's retarded....
