Dennis, You have said that you lack the expertise to discuss CR. Well what then are you doing contributing now. If you make a criticism or confirmation, why not tell us what you are thinking and why you are thinking it. Focus on the logic.

Is it possible that mileage has been confounded with something that is a cause? If not, what would mileage be presenting as a combination of other variables?
