I I have a healthy skepticism for "but this is different, really".
Now on to what little data we have.
I have no idea what you mean by "biased". Who's going to be biased? Most Most people have no clue when it started - only when it goes bang.
So i doubt much real info exists.
So i presume that like most failures it starts slowly and accelerates over time.
note that sorta supports "happens over a long period of time" except that the metal flakes stage is likely to be short, and that's the part we can observe, or measure, maybe.
