Right.
However... an example. The chaps maintaining my car do some kind of
"preventive maintenance": they replace some pieces based on time and
kilometers. When I check those pieces, they seem ok, but... who knows, I
know they will not break on the road. Hopefully.
I'm curious.
On large installations such as those you and Kai mention, are SMART tests
useful to predict failure?
