As usual, you are just being needlessly argumentative and pendantic.
Quite the opposite. I'm being truthful and correct, which is exactly NOT what the poster (not you) did, to whom I responded. READ.
You go ahead and show that increasing inspection intervals increases failures.
Then again, neither you, nor the other guy, know that such speculation and pure guesswork had any part of the incident in discussion.
It's hardly pedantic to note that the posters comments, literally all of them, were false, and to explain why (unless you simply don't understand).
Inspection intervals and life limits are not designed with failure in mind. They are designed to preclude failure. You understand the difference, or need that also be explained to you?
