It does? How can you conclude that without having inspected the missing parts?

It could be a manufacturing defect, it could be all kinds of other things including a design flaw, to conclude that it 'screams of bad servicing' without having any evidence on an incident that is not even a day old is jumping to conclusions.

"Screams of x" is an educated guess, not a conclusion.

An educated guess is something entirely different than throwing out the first thing that comes to mind in a complex situation. Evidence, not guesses is where it is at.

I'm merely pointing out that the parent mischaracterized the statement as a conclusion. It's just a guess. (it's also an unnecessarily adversarial post)

You are trying to counter my observation about terminology, guess vs conclusion, by saying that evidence is better. Not really relevant.
