Again you are forgetting about the line that you lose from a snag or
from a fish. If you loose it to a rock you could easily have 4 feet
of
line.

LOSE! The word is LOSE, fool.

If its mono it will break down and disintegrate. If its
polycarbin it will stay in tact for life.

INTACT is one word. And what the hell does "for life" mean? Whose
life? The life of the line? I should hope so.

then too, while fools may or may not take as long to disintegrate as
fluorocarbon line (depending on specific local conditions), they
certainly do a great deal more damage for the life of the product.

hilarious, even if just the *tiniest* bit too difficult for the subject
matter to digest; or, more accurately, to integrate.

*There is a wide range of polymers that include chlorine and/or
fluorine. That a particular polymer or class of polymers currently
used in the making of fishing lines and containing one or both of
these elements goes by the name of "fluorocarbon" should not be
construed as suggesting that older and more familiar products lack
them.

No it doesn't, it breaks down. The mere action of current and water action
rubbing it against the snag or the rocks and once free as it tumbles along
means it breaks down into minute pieces pretty quickly unless it is in
virtually stagnant water and I can't imagine that would happen often. While
it may not biodegrade, it does break up into pieces so small it offers no
real environmental problem.
