re: Anderson rifles and RF85 technology

Clames,
I admit that by nature, I'm usually a skeptic. In addition, I'm fairly ignorant w/ the AR platform. Having said that, I can see where this technology would be helpful for the operation of the action if the claims are true.
I have a question arising from the following quote:
I know you're not a spokesman for the company, but I curious what you think.
Are they claiming gun oil inside the barrel turns into carbon once the cartridge is fired?
How is it that this technology to eliminate the need for lubricants in the AR action extends to the bore and the rifling to provide protection to the rifling?
The aforementioned quote seems more "snake oilish" to me than the other claims.

And because the gun requires no lubrication, there is no oil present which would normally turn into tough-to-clean carbon once the gun is fired. As a result, the gun runs cleaner longer, the rifling in the barrel remains true and the gun cleans up in minutes in just soap and water.

Thread bump, because I have someone trying to sell me one of these and I'm seriously considering it. I've looking to get an AR and spend in the $800 range, don't need any crazy accessories or anything really. But I wasn't prepared for an oilless rifle that the manufacturer recommends to wash with soap and water. 
This will be my first AR. I'm a little uncomfortable with the no oil and no solvent cleaning deal.

The oil will trap carbon and unburned propellant and the hot gasses will eventually vaporize the oil into a varnish which will make that crud harder to remove. I always run a dry patch down the bores of my firearms before firing so there is pretty much no oil, any residue would be blasted out anyway. I don't think there is much merit to the claim concerning the barrel itself unless you were in the habit of running a rifle so wet with lube that it dripped into the magazine and covered the ammo which would cause oil to foul the chamber and bore to a degree.
