What was the condition of the resistors BEFORE the big bang, Rich?  Unless
you or anyone measured them right before, we have no we of knowing do we?
The fact that they are bad when measured is circumstantial evidence.  It
would never hold up in a court of law.  Unless you specifically know what
their state was prior to the "bang" then you cannot comment on what caused
their state after the "bang."

The resistors could have been bad already from heating effects, age, etc.
