your theory is not supported by any evidence
Me too. I have thousands of miles on my Surly LHT, carrying a lot of weight, no broken spokes, and they are still true. I did have them detensioned and retensioned by hand when I bought the bike. That is something I always do to a new machine built rim.
The rims have been bullet proof.
