I am certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed, and I am certainly no genius when it comes to operating a calculator let alone math and complex physics, but I was always under the impression that the more you abuse and beat the crap out of something the shorter it will last? I am also under the impression that this applies to most things in life whether they be mechanical or people.

The concept that anyone actually thinks that there is no correlation between continuously running a turbine in this manner and shorter TBO's would generally concern me about his/her general ability to have a clue.
