This debate on whether LN's reliability is statistically proven by independent data has little value in the real world.
Porsche's numbers for single row IMS bearings show their failure rate is at least 8%. If owners want to bet their car is not one of the 8% or greater by not replacing their IMS bearings at the time of clutch replacement, so be it.
I'm not willing to place that bet especially given the complete lack of hue and cry on the forums about failures from the thousands M96 owners who have installed LN bearings.
