1.) It was already agreed the extra emission demand causes 
no component life problems.

2.) It can be proven it doesn't make the amp less linear as 
was initially claimed.  Case in point, read the post on the 
50MHz amp.

3.) Case history shows the vast majority of tube failures 
are actually rooted in tube manufacturing defects, a distant 
second is operator error.

4.) The quickest way to bankruptcy is to build a product 
with stuff inside that does no good, and that almost no one 
wants to pay for.
