funnly someone said something simmilar on pprune (website for professional pilots and CC) and was quite logically rebuffed.

Say you had a car that had just gonefor along drive with no problems you stop to get some fuel and a mile or 2 down the road the engine blows up, was it the peteral stations fault (possiable but HIGHLY unlikly) or just the culmitive affect of all your traveling (MUCH MUCH more likly).

You also have to remember takeoff is by FAR the most stresfull time on an engine so if theres something wrong with then engine itself (such as an oil leak) its MUCH more likly to cause a siginificant problem on takeoff then steady croose(sp?)
