Why would they use such a specific diagnosis as a "generic excuse"?

How do you know? Did you open the drives and had a look (as the company 
doing the diagnosis surely must have done, as opening the drives is IMHO 
the only way to arrive at a diagnosis of rotational scarring)?

Who said anything about "by themselves out of thin air"? If he's really 
got 3 drives which headcrashed at the same time, I'd say someone kicked 
his NAS down the stairs while it was running... But that's pure 
speculation, maybe the OP can elaborate.
