Of couse I "may" be mistaken.
Did you read the bit in my original post where I said:
"there's nothing better than accelerated testing to go on"
If you can suggest a mode of failure that Wilhelm is not aware of and 
does not allow for, then I'm sure he'd love to hear from you.
If not, then you're at risk of being dismissed as a scaremongering 
conspiracy theorist, or a Luddite.
