^99.9% of Boxster owners will never know what that ratio really is.

Neither will they know if current ratios of failures have been misleading since the cars are now going higher up the mileage charts.

Example: Old owner didn't drive it very much for its first five years, changed the oil infrequently now fast forward to 2012 and a slew second and third owners start using that car as a daily driver. result: LN Engineerings phone starts ringing with more and more frequency.

Point is who is adjusting this "IMS Failed ratio" up or down each each year as m96 engines go up in mileage? Nobody.

There is deliberating with facts, albeit limited and guessing about possibilities.
Particularly when we aren't talking about buying a stock or a house but rather choosing not to address an isssue that is well known.
I wouldn't take comfort in perceptions.
