1. How much faith do you folks put into the company's recommendation codes; "100.. All values appear normal"
2. I have often wondered if these companies assume just a little bit of risk by offering an interpretation of the tests. Would their attorney not suggest "Just give them the numbers, let them decide what to do with them"?
3. I called one of these sampling companies once and asked them if they had very many cases of where abnormal results detected an impending problem and the person on the phone could not say. I got the impression that it wasn't a matter of this person not knowing, but that there really hadn't been much talk of 'yep, that test saved their bacon... one more flight and the engine wouldve cratered'. I do the tests but have always questioned their value. Seems like they are more valuable to a potential buyer!
