Of course this has not been tested to be true. It is a projection &
similar projections were made regarding CD & DVD longevity, which
have proven to be far less permanent by orders of magnitude.
Additionally, even with a verifiable MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, it is
still possible for any given specimen to fail within the first hour
of use. It's just statistically less likely.
Only time will tell.
