comment What's wrong with using finings?
I disagree. Firstly color and clarity play a huge role in how beer is perceived. In "Beer: Tap Into the art and science of brewing" Dr. Bamforth makes this point several times. Jamil Z. of the the BJCP and brewing network makes note as well. Secondly, cloudiness in beer can indicate polyphenols, yeast, etc. in suspension, these components have a big effect on how a beer tastes. Yeast make beer taste bready to me, not to mention they are coated in hop oils that will make a yeasty IPA taste more bitter. Other hazy factors like phenols can add an acrid burnt taste if left in suspension.

comment How do I estimate the viability of dry yeast?
I agree Graham, I should not have written "dead". In terms of pitching viability would you agree with the tool that less than 1% of the yeast are alive? If so i will edit my post to clarify.

comment Secondary fermentation including carbonation in a Corney keg
His question involves racking once to get the cider off the yeast/trub, and bottling early to avoid priming. He didn't ask about force carbing or single vessel fermentation.

comment Will my session beer be OK for 5-6 weeks in primary?
Did you use dry or liquid yeast? Did you make a starter?
