Does the Expand a Lung thing work? It sounds beneficial but also sounds like a gimmick. Any thoughts?

Here's an interesting thread on the product at trifuel.
http://www.trifuel.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-1723.html
Now, there is one guy who says he likes the benefit of being able to "breath better while swimming" because he can "breathe out with more force and therefore faster"...
The problem I see with his support of the product, is that when you're swimming, you should remember that your can breath OUT when your face is in the water... so, it doesn't really matter how long it takes to breath out.
Anyway, it sounds like at least from that thread that people are skeptical of it's results.
I also read the details from the scientific studies that support the value of the product. It looks like these studies were only done on groups of patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)... So the study was not done on healthy triathletes, like yourself.
Sounds like it might be snake oil...
