I knew you'd disagree, but the fatigue issue is very real with bike frames. Whereas with aircraft there is structural redundancy, and many members just have to be there and not carry much of a load. Furthermore you can't sell a welded frame even if you could make a light enough frame with a reasonable fatigue life. Case closed as far as I'm concerned.
