You pick the math. but all logic and data suggests the problem was less prevalent than you and others are suggesting. If you believe the prevalence is that bad, then explain why we aren't seeing more failures.

On average, the average propensity to report such a problem in a public forum INCREASES once people suspect that there is a widespread problem.
