   But what if the odds of this component he claims will fail (which he   
   wrongly called a "proprietary Apple design" when in fact then use NAND   
   chips they purchase from major suppliers)...   
      
   ...are just really small?   
      
   The fact is there are lots of integrated circuits and components that   
   are soldered to the motherboard of computers, which, if they fail, will   
   have drastic consequences.   
      
   But we don't worry much about such failures...   
      
   ...because they're exceedingly rare.
