Michael Texler might like to join in here.
My understanding is that to get a feel for the relevance of the 
statistic it is useful to also know other things:
- how many Puchaz were built
- how many are being used in the spin training role
- over how many operating hours

and to compare this with other options
including things like Concrete Swans which don't have a spin history 
because most won't, the exciting G103 (with or without whiskers) when 
they do and then only stop reluctantly, K21s with spin kit tail 
weights, my '32 which won't because the placard says so (& I'm too 
chicken to contradict it), the mass of the '28, the docile history of 
Blaniks except when the wings come off.

It is a complex subject.
