I understand the forum is not the world. But if there are 300+ failures documented (someone mentioned that?), we might still be able to have some statistical inference on the data. For example I'm curious if the failure is completely random (a flat failure rate curve, or other shape? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve )
