Understood. But there's a flip side to that coin, to wit:
Assuming the datasheet specs for the 40 amp breaker can be trusted, it's possible to design a product around those specs so that the breaker WILL protect it.
Hence the question: what are the chances of damaging, say, a Talon, if it is properly wired and protected by a properly operating in-spec 40 amp FRC breaker?
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
