'Tin pest' makes more sense to me. Tin just doesn't want to be locked down in a shape like that. I get it. But why would any metal want to grow hair??

Metals are crystals so why wouldn't they grow hairs? Probably just stray electrons and alignment issues lining up. Crystals do things, what's the big deal?

Everything we know about the way metal crystals grow is against they growing up hairs.
