you are postulating an 'event' to account for extraneous data
i.e. the 'durability' of the IHS TIM joint
I do not question its finite # of cycles, but this has no bearing on the new heat source

you question the flatness of the heat source IHS when such is presumed to conform to the sink, clearly when the relative stiffness of the 2 are reversed deformation of the bp will occur
- but its best characterization will still be on an IHS

the 'problem' with these heat sources is that they cannot be referred to, and they change -> which mandates a new data set
