Who knows...

though a very knowledgeable fellow says that because if the way TIPs are driven (slowly) and their probable oil change intervals (less frequent) there is some thought that the statistical probability of failure is actually higher than on a manual shift car especially if the manual shift car is driven with some spirit.

All you need to do it wait for the oil to warm and then take those revs up occasionally. I go to 5500+ at least once per trip. And change the oil at 3k. That should get your probability of failure back into the same range as the manual trans cars. And who knows exactly what that is ...
