I was always under the impression it is the oil between the surfaces that
provider the 'rolling' surface in all bearings, even BBs. Some modern
industrial machines use quite a soft plastic bearing material (can't recall
its name) for the bearing surfaces which if not well lubricated becomes
useless after a very short period.
