What was the failure rate of ES equipped Taylors? With over 150,000 ES Taylors sold in the first 3 years, even if a small percentage of users experienced a problem and reported it in the forums, it might suggest to the conclusion jumpers that the incidence was unacceptably high. Also, what was the incidence of failure in the first six months as compared to the rate after the first six months? What has the failure rate been since the second generation ES was released?

Forums are not a reliable source of data as, among other things, a disproportionate number of negative posts is the norm.
