Just to clarify: I'm not saying there isn't an issue, I don't know the "acceptable" failure rates and proportion of sales to judge, but there's certainly enough to investigate.
I'm just questioning the speed at which it went from "A couple of people had a similar looking failure" to "It's CONFIRMED to be due to bad SoC voltage regulation caused by enabling EXPO, and here's what you should do..."
Same with the NVidia filtering capacitor drama - there was an issue, but it ended up being fixed by zero changes to the "Accepted cause" of the filtering caps.
Or the NVidia 12HVPR cable drama - "Everyone Knew" it was due to vendors cheaping out on cables and the cable itself too close to the edge of tolerance to be acceptable for normal use. Until actual failures were analyzed and showed they weren't plugged in properly - which lead to a real fix (Future cables having shorter sense pins to ensure good contact of the power pins before allowing use).
