After hearing about this issue I went to the Apple store and tried to intentionally crack the screens on the display units. Closed the lids on several units with items between the screen and keyboard. Flexed the screen in several directions. Nothing.

You need to do this several thousand times. Let's say you use your laptop 300 day a year and that you close the screen about 4 times a day. If the laptop is designed to withstand 2000 closes then your laptop will break after less than two years.

No.
The reports were spontaneous cracks after only days or weeks. And the tolerances were blamed because small debris caught under the screen would allegedly put undue pressure on the screen.
