If the problem follows the part, the part is bad.  I wanted to see if the aerator from xjoe81x's house was really bad or not, so I took it home with me and tested it, same problem.  Part is definitely bad.  Because I had to take off my aerator, I showed the modification I did so it would work better with my sink.  

Because the EPA had to get in the way and foul up my daily allotment of hand-washing water, I had to modify it to allow more water through while still allowing aeration instead of a straight stream.  I found a perfect balance between the two.  This was really a "try it and see" operation, there is no "setting" for any one sink.  Several trials later I hit the perfect balance, and you must be conservative, because you can't easily undo one try.
