That's a personal opinion - everyone else is free to think whatever they wish.

The acceptability of that 0.2% number was not given by utlinebacker of Luminary Micro, it was given by EricVanWyk (utlinebacker just gave us the data, which I consider exceptionally good and open for a vendor). From a manufacturing standpoint 0.2% is 2KP/M and while that isn't good it is acceptable from a purely manufacturing point of view.
I'll be honest, my biggest concern is
NOT that there might be an issue with the Jaguars. My biggest concern
IS if there is a problem with the Jaguars that we don't get to the bottom of this quickly enough so that LM can have a 'fix' ready by the week 1 regionals, and we'll have a number of rookie teams dead on the field. Remember that we, as veterans, have access to a lot of information (like CD) that rookies do not know exist, therefore, I believe it is our duty to the community to make sure that issues like this get resolved before week 1.
So, please everyone, give LM all the information they are asking for and then some. Let them know your battery level, how much current the motor was drawing, whether you had an ESD event (and how long after it failed), etc, etc.
