In which circles does this get debated? Automotive? Aerospace?
Not actually sure, one of the bearing sites that looked up today had a topic about motor bearing failure from it but they induce it so its a big problem for that.
You may have to dig for it and it actually doesn't come up here like I think it would.
I was schooled by a couple of old guys along the way but have had plenty along the way that thought otherwise but I'll go with the sage advice every time.
I did raise the question at a bearing supply house many years ago and they didn't think it was critical on bikes but admitted they weren't expert in that so....
