I suspect every sealer on the market consists of both sealant solids and carrying agents.

Okay-- although I'm not a chemist, lets say for the sake of argument that you're right (which I also question). Now, in the case of the aerosols, you're also adding the propellants. THAT'S what dilutes it more than it would be otherwise. Also, that's not my only "conjecture". I'd like to know how these sealers supposedly eveaporate off the tile, but not off the grout. My contention is that this claim is garbage. Because of the fact that the aerosol DOES evaporate so quickly, off both the tile AND the grout, there's not as much sealant left on the grout, which means it won't last as long as a normal sealer, and then they charge you an arm and a leg for an inferior product, which, of course, you have to use more often, which makes it even that much MORE expensive, as compared to conventional sealers.
