And I'll still take that bet. I've seen people put things together the wrong way, break them, get a replacement, put the replacement together the wrong way, and break that.
Also, it's not like they're expensive, or heavy. The OP carries a seat pack, he's probably got room for a spare quick link! And they can be used to fix a chain that breaks somewhere else.
