The question isn't: 'is a 20 year old bar as strong today as it was when new?'
It's: 'are newly made bars of today the same strength as bars were 20 years ago?'
That's my point is that this appears to be an unknown. We need data, not risk assessment from a group using no data but feelings instead.
I'm posing the question, is it factually necessary to replace bars after the minor events you've mentioned? Or are we keeping a boogieman away?
You said: "what their hazard assessment is." Well, without knowing how to correctly assess that risk how can we do that effectively?
