Quoting the article that you posted ( in part ): " More work needs to be done, Hajek said, especially in assessing the effects on the main gearbox "

Their research will most likely find, unless the box has been way over-designed structurally, that regular use of much higher than normal power on one input will have an effect on the box TBO. Not something everyone thinks of at first.
