I've always considered long term burn in to be a patch for a quality problem
that has no other solution.

Ideally, the failures that result from a burn in should be carefully analyzed,
then corrective action steps taken to fix them, and not rely on BI to
provide a "fix" to component, or process defects.

I think experience would show that the more a product is handled, the more
damage is induced as a result.

Best of luck on your problem...
