Hi, Steve! Welcome to EvC!
The same reasoning can be applied to the aluminum content of the oceans to "prove" that the Earth was created during President McKinley's administration. Austin and Humphries are not being truthful.....and do you know anyone that remembers the guy before McKinley?
CD221: Amount of dissolved minerals in oceans will give you more detail.

I'm no expert on this either, but it seems that most of the albite would be below the sea floor, and that circulation of water would stop or at least slow down dramatically as plate motion moved it away from the hot mid-ocean ridge. Without water flowing by, most of it would stay as albite, even at cooler temperatures.
