Dude, I've dealt with fuming sulfuric on numerous occasions.
Who said anything about dissolving in seconds? I'm talking eons.
The landers obviously didn't last long, did they though?
Even eons is not enough to noticeably damage SiO2 with 0.02% SO2 atmosphere.
Landers didn't last long because of extreme temperature, not because they dissolved by some acid.
Sulfuric acid itself exists on the altitudes above 60km in the form of clouds, where tempersture allows its existence as acid. And it have very low concentration. Sulfuric acid can't exist on the surface at all due to 600°C temperature.
Sounds good to me.
Still doubting it overall.
