I'm afraid SB1500 you've fallen into the advertising trap. You have just admitted that you are no expert when it comes to the make up of oil, but you are nudged by Castrol's spiel. I used to work in the trade. Your base stock oil comes from the same place. The likes of Halfords & other outlets such as supermarkets obviously don't make their own oils, but are supplied from the same refinery.
I keep trying to explain, the likes of yourself & others whose logic just doesn't make sense when it comes to engine oil, as long as the spec is correct, the oil will be fine. I suspect I'm preaching on deaf ears.
Had a wee giggle about your thoughts regarding Halfords oil & then likening this to their staff & bikes & their product range.. That just doesn't make sense at all. They stock items that other places have. The only downside really is that they tend to be quite expensive in their prices, but that's another story. I have a trade card... again that's another story....
