Have you not heard of the "Bathtub" curve of reliability? Over a large 
number of components, the failure rate is high early on, then it falls 
to a lower steady level rising again when the component reaches EOL. We 
used to deal in 10s of thousands of hard disks, and the effect was very 
noticeable.
