i don't really see how i could be an exception?

i'm not using special lights. i'm not doing anything special to sustain them.

i think you're drawing an incorrect conclusion based on a biased sample. this happens a lot on these kinds of boards. for every one person that comes here to talk about how something died, there could be 10, 15, 20 that didn't take the time to stop by and say "nope everything is still fine".

you see this across many different kinds of markets. cars are an excellent parallel. there are certain car models that are notorious on the internet for one defect or another, but when you look at the actual statistics about how often the problem occurs, it is a far lower incident rate than you would expect based on the anecdotal evidence.

correlation does not equal causality.
