This reminds me of a story...

I sold some high end o-rings to a customer once and he sent them in for testing to make sure conformed to certain standards that his engineer requested. Now mind you this is about 20 o-rings and the dollar amount was about 12k. He receives a letter back fromt he standards board stating....

Your orings met all standards as outlined. We cannot return any of your "samples" to you as we needed to do destructive testing to determine their conformance!

so in other words, the only way to see if the part was acceptable is too destroy it!!
