Capacitors failng to do the job are often not down to bad caps, but
rather bad design with insufficient margins.


??????????? Isn't that rather what I was saying in that thread last
week,
when you were contending that a 40v cap is good to 40 volts long term,
and
implying that by saying anything different, I did not know what I was
talking about? Sorry to bring it up, and I really don't want to start all
that up again, but I was gobsmacked when I read what you now seem to be
saying ...

You misunderstood what I was saying significantly, and following your
last response I doubt there's any mileage left in the discussion.


Yes, you are right that there is no further mileage in the discussion, and I
meant what I said about not wishing to pursue it further, nor do I now, but
I think that I have got to leave it this time by saying that if I
significantly misunderstood what *you* were saying, then you for sure
misunderstood what *I* was saying ....
