Which is an interesting experimental concept. Why hasn't this been done?

If we can't agree on acceleration factors, why doesn't the industry do a DOE
with a leg or 2 being actual life and other legs being acceleration tests to
determine factors for different constructions/components/surface
finishes/.....

Or has this been done?

You could always build a time machine, send them back 11& 3/4 months and
then they'll be ready next week. 8-)
