H1000,
Does MTH warranty cover bricked engines when operator runs it in conditions that are out of MTH specifications?
I never said that MTH would or would not cover it under warranty. I simply rebutted your statement that they'd never know if he screwed up his engine doing something that's out-of-bounds. I stand by my rebuttal.
Everything we do on any engine from any manufacture is risky anymore and should pretty much come with a warning, even everyday running.
"Everything"? I disagree. Further, there are categories of risk. For example, it's riskier to cross in the middle of the street than in a crosswalk, although, admittedly, one can be injured doing either. The risk, however, is not equal and the former is riskier than the latter, and is deemed an "acceptable" risk.
There are no guarantees that a voltage spike, faulty transformer, nasty derail or a meteorite won't destroy your electronics even with a few dozen TVS diodes in place and a the best circuit protection on planet earth.
That's true, however, so what? Stuff happens. Most people tend to protect against high-risk issues a lot more than low-risk ones.
MTH puts a lot of trust in the hands of the consumer to be honest with them.
Yes, it seems that they do and that you're advocating being deceptive, if necessary, in furthering one's self-interest. While I find that a little disturbing, however, let your conscience be your guide.
Since you didn't really take much exception to my points, I'm respectfully removing myself from this debate, unless anyone deems it necessary to continue.
