And this is my point. Perception of risk driving recommendation rather than actual calculations. All the years of DE involvement, armed with no known evidence of a plug related carcass failure, the recommendation is still “replace” with the nod to “think of those around you too”. Often times and far more so with the heavy high HP cars damage or wear is not visible and best calculated out via usage profiles. Things we see or "feel" tend to be given far greater weight than risks we should be tracking but don't.

Way too easy to say “$100 head get a $100 helmet” or “best change it” while it is harder to find the root of and manage the real risks.
