Haha, yes I am fully aware of that.
Nobody has actually said which Loctite they are using though (have they?), so it may very well be that the Loctite being used acts as a very strong bond. I know when I took the BB out of my first Cannondale SuperSix Evo which came as a complete build, it took about an hour of hammering to get it out. This was Loctited in (not sure which Loctite they used).
