I suppose the same could be said for the HMMWV analogy. HMMWVs might be able to absorb particular types of damage well, but they're very very very finicky platforms. A F150 might not absorb anywhere near as many bullets, but it also doesn't eat gear reduction hubs and transfer cases like candy. 'Mil-Spec' in the case of the AM General HMMWV is pretty sad.
Regardless, I think Sinister's point is very valid and I don't see any reason doubt his wisdom on the subject. How many lowers of ANY make has ANYONE on here worn out? Seriously, its a silly issue.

Yes, I know. No, I won't tell you.
