Yeah ... except it wasn't stress that killed them.
That is an excellent example of how smart people get information and completely ignore it, picking and choosing tiny bits to cobble together something which fits their a priori narrative to support their own ridiculous and unrealistic theories.
Those cranks did not fail due to stress ... they failed because they were not properly glued together, so that moisture could create a corrosive chemical reaction between steel and aluminum parts. This corrosive chemical reaction hastened the breakdown of the adhesive bonding the aluminum parts together. The glue is what failed ..... This has been explained repeatedly, in posts way before the recall was announced. In fact, pictures like the one above were posted years ago on a website which collected stories o crank failure ... which site was referenced here in an earlier thread (search and find.)
At no point did the aluminum crank fail because the intact crank was aluminum, and could not stand up to the stresses of being aluminum and being a bike crank. (If aluminum was not suitable for bike cranks the 105 cranks would also have been recalled. (

The cranks failed because the glue bonding the two sections together failed, and the remaining two parts, seperatley, could not function as a bicycle crank.
The All-Aluminum, one-piece, 105 cranks have No record of failure and are Not included in the recall.
This is a classic example of a smart person being deliberately stupid to support and inaccurate and dishonest theory. This is the same sort of lack of thinking or dishonest, actually psychotic (using information invented to replace actual information form reality) that allows people to hate CF ("Every CF frame and fork is a deadly accident waiting to happen," they have been saying for several decades, while the rest of us wait .... )
This is the kind of thinking that allows people to claim the Earth is flat and that technology doesn't work while driving computerized cars along routes suggested by GPS satellites while engaged in video-telephone calls with people in other countries,.
This si the kind of ridiculously pitiful failed thinking which is actually killing the human race.
Bravo.
