The 88 figure came directly from TI, I believe. Meaning that's how many they had returned by teams. That has nothing to do with CD.

And speaking of negligence, in the top two causes of failure, one was negligence... and that was removing the screws from the jaguar power terminals which leaves metal shavings inside the case. The new black jag does not use retaining screws since people are going to remove them even if it will cause a failure.
