ha,ha, ok,but we are going to have to agree to disagree. i,ve had a few bourbons , so i,ll be direct.
i,ve tigged up stacks of pipe , but not much stick, but what you say "flies in the face" of traditional stick welding training. i don,t believe for a minute that the fill is done with 6010, and any good welder is happy to run a low hydrogen rod. but it doesn,t matter what i say, its the welding procedure that is done by welding engineers is that what is strictly followed. these are critical welds. you can quote all numbers but the welding engineer is the man, and we must do what is required.
i think i said i worked with structural steel, buildings, bridges, tanks etc.. structural steel is all migged up, and thats low hydrogen. only site mods and tricky spots require a stick welder. , structural steel we mainly worked with is 350 grade.

To be fair this is the same for any electrode stored out of its original packaging out in the wild. Proper electrode care should be part of any meaningful weld procedure.
The good low hydrogen rods come in a sealed ring-pull can or a vac sealed pouch.
16TCs are in a very mediocre plastic wrap which is held together with hopes and dreams... not the best for resisting moisture ingress IMO.
