There have not been one million take-off and landings (cycles) on the A380 since its inception, yet there has been one IFSD, one catastrophic failure, and multiple events - not to mention the irregularities indicated in current inspections.
Interesting. I don't see any "empirical evidence" in your post either.

Do you know how many cycles or flying hours there have been with the A380 RR fleet ? Can you compare the number of IFSD / failures with that of any other aircraft in its first three years of service? Is the A380 worse or better? Give us some numbers ..
