Agreed. It's pretty unlikely that would cause the problem you're experiencing. Cannondale must have some sort of warranty. Over a year ago, I bought a pair of the Cannondale Domestique shorts. Love 'em and they're holding up very well. About two months ago, I bought another paid of the exact same line. They fell apart within a few weeks. Took both pairs back to the shop to show them the difference. They exchanged the pair that fell apart with a pair of Sugoi shorts without batting an eye. Only rode them once but like them so far.
