Generalization is always false.
I killed a 1GB SanDisk CF Card because of excessive logging of OpenVPN Connections from WLAN Clients which unfortunately had power saving enabled and dropped the connection every few minutes. Took me around 2 or 3 weeks, I just forgot to reduce the log level. Perhaps those stress tests are not stressing enough? That Card was a little bit older, but seldom used, so there is a good chance that that scenario no longer applies.

and I bet it didn't die because of the excessive writes but something
else. And until you show me proof that all reserve cells were mapped
in and in use I cannot be convinced of the opposite.

Tell me how I can show this. I got the card in a drawer around.

Kind regards,
  Markus
