The real question is how could the IMR be that high? The most obvious possibility is that the 2008 KOP valves were units that had issues on the production line, and rather than scrapping them they were donated. I'm not prepared to make that assertion just yet since it has some pretty negative connotations, but right now it's the best explanation I've got.
Unfortunately that thought has crossed more than a couple of peoples minds.
