Bonded Frames

Bonded Frames. My old Trek 1200 is a bonded frame. Whats all this talk about these frames pulling apart. Same with Trek's Carbon bikes from the same time period (5800).
I had a gentlemen tell me he was a rep in the late 80's, and saw how these bikes were made and said they were extremely well built. Trek used aircraft glue to bond the frame.
Just curious since I heard talk of this well before I acquired the Trek over two years ago. And the frame material 6061 Aluminum is still used on bikes today.
