Brush Ti also looks better than carbon, painted steel/aluminum, etc. as well.
It seems though that the elephant in the room, is that the guy whose bike fails, seems would have to prove that it failed from damage that existed at the time of inspection and didn't occur some time after leaving the bike shop.
