I think some people are over dramatizing this on the dual row cars.
Single row yes, I agree, much higher failure rate.
You say that like every person drives the same way.

How many IMS online complaints have I read that started out with "I was doing 20 mph when it failed, and really never drive on the freeway at all, let alone in higher RPMs.." thinking that would help their case?

Two identical bearings. Two drivers. Two different potential results. Now, how many cars were made total?
