Not Telling
I think Mumbles is referring to acid-free Sulfur.
Acid free Sulfur is like Oxide free Peroxides. dosent exist so far i know

I had considered that. I also considered the low self-ignition temperature being within reach of friction generated heat. Lactic acid isn't strong enough to protonate the chlorate to chloric acid, which is what causes all the issues from the generation of Chlorine dioxide, so I don't know how reliable that is. Then again it only takes a minute amount to increase sensitivity, but I have a hard time believing a weaker acid, probably present in smaller amounts would cause it to become more sensitive than sulfur/chlorate.
Any Acid even organic such as Ascorbic or Tartaric acid will make extreme sensetive mixtures with Chlorates
If sulfur was totaly free from H2SO4 mixing Chlorates with it should be fine, i can't explain the problem with Sulfides though
