Honestly, I'm not sure it does. It's not like we fully understand either exactly why some factory bearings fail and others don't or if the LN design is unquestionably advantageous and / or if it has its own issues.

To my mind, we have very little proven data. All we know for sure is that the factory bearing definitely fails. I'd say the jury is still out on the LN kit to at least some degree.

And I'm not totally sure LN has put numbers on the table when its numbers are apparently saying it has sold 6,000 single-row bearings, which seems implausible to me.

On a related note, i have to say that IMS Guardian thing strikes as pretty preposterous. Obviously that a whole separate topic. But the IMS subject is tricky and the lack of hard data has a tendency to have people making assumptions that may not be true.
