0.5% is the worst case number I calculated (back of the envelope, given the reported failures along with an estimate to account for those owners not present here on this forum).

It doesn't in any way diminish alcohols value in this case as a powerful explanatory value, but it also doesn't put alcohol on the level of cyanide. Now lets suppose someone tells you that drinking increases your risk of dying from another disease from 1/10 to 1/8, a 25% increase in risk. Would you stop? Probably, I know I would (or at least cut back).

Excellent analogy.
This just is not the E46 M3 bearing case.
