Homer,

Based on my experiences with this I'd have to say that you're dead on. I also wonder if the manufacturers not openly taking responsibility for defective breakers is due to concerns about liability for the lost customer revenue that result from related production shutdowns. I know of a few contractors in this area that have landed on the wrong end of this type of law suit when their work has been suspected of causing similar losses. This is somewhat similar to a delay of progress claim in the construction world.
