The fatigue life is a real factor - putting a bar through 10 years of up-down bending is great. I want them to survive that.
The real world is vastly different than the lab, though. Controls get out on and taken off, stems get swapped, trees get tagged and there's no scuffs, etc etc etc etc.
If your personal factor of safety is half - cool.
Mine is less.
