I am sure someone else knows better than me on this forum, but I often hear customers state 3-5% is standard/acceptable. Of course, it is acceptable to me, too, until I am the one that experiences the failure. This is why we are endeavoring to make Jaguar even better.

Dr. Ian Thomas (retired) in the University of Texas at Austin Electrical Engineering dept always had a famous quote when his class wondered why a surprise question popped up on the test that a good majority of the class would probably panic with or choke on. Students would file up at his desk during the exam to inquire 1:1 about it, and his constant, steadfast response to each panicked student was: "Don't look at me like that. You... were... WARNED!" Call me crazy, but I loved that class, and I love FIRST, even though in both cases, "I... was... WARNED!"
