Swiss cheese screws are annoying but trashing Silca's products based on a vague description of screw deformation is both a stretch and a red herring. It's irrelevant to the blatant fraud talked about in that section

Especially given that the article has lots of descriptions about spare parts and servicability.

And assuming that the scammers take any care at all to do the job right when disassembling for fraud.

Also, Silca’s stuff is high end. The supposition was completely off-base.

Sometimes fasteners are deemed single use consumables. Softer metals are used so that it will intentionally deform for a stronger/better mating.
