We don't know, for certain.  These were lasers being sent out for life
testing, and three failed basically right out of the gate.

To remove that possible influence, we sent out another batch, and
were "extra careful" this time.

The major argument against 10% DOA is that these were factory
direct shipped, and I seriously doubt ROHM would have that high
a dropout rate even on their worst of bad days.
