i can stab my tire with a knife several times without it failing, does that mean

- it definitely wouldn't fail in short order if i keep doing it?
- someone else with a different knife might puncture it on the first try?
- you were perhaps, even subconsiously, stabbing it like a wuss trying to prove your point?

using the thought process "i've done it a few times and it hasn't broken yet" as a metric for component strength and longevity...... is that good?

just sayin'
