Fair enough but I don't necessarily agree that it's that simple.
One could say " Jake has seen more M96/97 motors in various conditions, good to bad, then most. Has possibly abused and detailed what can lead to the failures of these motors more than most.
Like all information out there, you have to filter it and keep it in perspective. It doesn't mean it is not valuable and has insight

So No information is better?
If someone does have limited data and it shows trends, isn't that useful?
This whole IMSB failure percentage thing falls into "..who really knows.."
All anyone can agree on is that this area of the motor fails at a surprisingly high rate

Jake keep the info coming. I'll put on my big boy pants and decide what I'm going to do with it
