Well, where are all the other parts of scrapped aircraft?

I keep seeing supposition that the recently found flaperon is "possibly" from a scrapped aircraft and not MH370....

Let's try a little lateral thinking here.

Give that NO OTHER part of any aircraft type has appeared on ANY beach in say the last year (and I assume we would have heard about it, were that true - aircraft 'parts' do not routinely appear randomly around our beaches), it seems very far fetched that a flaperon from any other 777 would be the ONLY piece of wreckage that did appear. It just doesn't compute.

I totally agree that the investigators have to be 100%, but any other explanation for this part being found where it was seems implausibly concocted.
