I find one major flaw in your logic, namely the fact that almost all 
polyethylene caps used for TCs are in fact dual dialectric caps. The
polyethylene being one dielectric and the oil being the other. If 
your logic was true then, all oil immersedimmersed polyethylene caps would 
breakdown . In fact they rarely break down when built to tolerate the 
voltages used.
