By-the-way, it's more likely that the stretch in the disk will open up the fir tree and release the whole blade before the attachment would fail (common in a disk over heat event)
Thanks for your insight here. In fact, you can see this opening up in the ASTB Figure 14 of the recovered disc section where the couple of blade dovetails remained in place for whatever reason.
