Ok, let's look at establishing facts, i have had no SD card failures, i changed card to enable a free update to a revised software; so from my perspective the SD card model works well.
The SD card failures, as written about on the forum, are potentially reflecting a small proportion of the B2's in circulation; therefore we cannot extrapolate from this that there a "huge proportion" of problems are caused by a corrupted, faulty or worn SD card.
Brennan has recently released a software update that when applied relieves stress on the SD card.
SD cards, SSD's and HDD's will fail, so it is good practice to have back ups and replacements.
And now from "facts" to opinions:
"If Martin is the programming genius we are told" in my opinion is a passive aggressive response that subjectively implies a cheap jibe.
"But your pathetic self righteous attitudes say more about you than they do about me." No, they don't, they still say the same thing about you.
"I thought this forum was for a free exchange of views." Oh, the irony, all i am doing is expressing my views in response to yours.
I have no problems with your wording, or your opinion, but i question your understanding of what constitutes a fact.
