A -100C brittleness level leaves plenty of safety margin for operation 
in -50C to -60C without worrying that your tie material is just on the 
edge of failure from cold induced brittleness.  With Nylon having it's 
magic brittle temperature right in the normal temperature range at 
usual commercial altitudes, there is no safety margin at all.
