Really? So if you buy a piece of equipment & the manufacturer says that it has a maximum lifetime of 5 years or 20,000 miles or 5 million revolutions under ideal care conditions that is ridiculous because under less than ideal conditions the piece of equipment will/could fail. Not going to debate this beyond this point as it's stupid but a maximum lifetime of anything implies ideal conditions.
