Apology accepted...
particlewave absolutely needs no defending in my book.
I would be curious just what the numbers are. We read TONS about IMS failures. Many more, I suspect, than faulty LN mag plug reports. But are they a 50/50 occurrence? Of course not, not even close. With the drain plug, I simply can't believe they're anywhere close to 50/50, but if they're even in that ballpark it's not good. In any case, I would still also be curious as to, when they've failed, how many times has it been because of improper torquing. Many? Most? Few? I just don't know. But I'll keep on using mine unless and until it fails.
I, like you, am ready to let it go. You're right, no ill-will intended. By either of us, I believe.
