That's true.
The Q of the suppressor is a meaningless number when trying to
decide if it is effective or not, or useful or not.
One thing is safe to say. Nichrome suppressor always have lower
low frequency Q than conventional suppressor. Technically they
should be called low-Q low-frequency (or HF) suppressors.
Not that it matters, since Q is unimportant, but that would be a
more accurate name.
