OK, think of the 1% and 8% as lower bounds on actual rates across all cars.

It doesn't change my points. They address the situation where the IMS bearing fails first, which leads to subsequent damage of other engine parts.

I do recognize, however, there are a number of failure modes where another part fails first, such as a chain rail breaking, that subsequently leads to the IMS bearing destroying itself as a consequence.
