this simplifies the explanation of how an Anode works and please note that the metal used in an anode is molecular weaker than the metal it is protecting, thus it corrodes first.

Sacrificial anodes are used to protect metal structures from corroding. Sacrificial anodes work by oxidizing more quickly than the metal it is protecting, being consumed completely before the other metal reacts with the electrolytes
I know what the internet says. And it does say it is corrosion.
And I'm sure many other people think the internet is always right.

One word. Anode.

Look it up. If you understood what an anode is you would understand why what I said is true. But you won't look it up will you.

One last thing, I doubt any of this will sway your opinion on the subject or about me.

The wording of your first post clearly tells me that you think you are superior to me. You are welcome to think that if it makes you happy.

The bottom line is I have no interest in pursuing this discussion any further. I see no point in it.
