This is not a very good post.

Claiming that every issue you've experienced is from seating errors? Come on man, at least deliberately reproduce that scenario once. I've tortured motherboards for fun and never managed that on purpose. We did pry every cap off of an old K6 board while it was on and... it just kept running. It didn't come back after we turned it off

The amount of time it takes to reseat memory, even if the case is already open and ready, is also more than enough time for it to cool back down.

If you have decent memory running at what it's rated for and you're seeing more than a couple per year, good odds are it's getting too hot or the load line calibration is not aggressive enough.

E: I have never, and I mean literally never, seen age or abuse play a factor.

I can only report what I have seen. Feel free to write your own blog post reporting what you have seen.

I do, often, and respect the time of my readers enough to verify my claims instead of presenting anecdoes as fact.

I respect the time of my readers by accurately presenting my claims. It seems that everyone other than you was able to understand "My experience of memory errors".
