I'm not sure that question is actually fair to Amsoil. From what I've all read on a bunch of forums, Voodoo engine problems don't trace back to lubricant failures. Valve guides, oil pump gears, spun bearings and a number of other possible causes have been debated, but there doesn't seem to be a clear winner. Some engines fail and most don't. Drawing a connection between any specialty lubricant and failures or their absence based on a few anecdotes could be highly misleading, in either direction. Of course, this is the internet...
It's a coffee ADM.
I get that, and I was just pointing out that when an engine fails with Motorcraft oil in it, the focus is on mechanical problems, but if an engine fails with Amsoil in it, the headline would be about the oil, which would be quite unfair to a company that makes a good product.
Symptoms of engine wear are reduced power and low oil pressure. I realize people are snobby about oils, but there have been zero reports that I've seen with people having engines that have worn out due to Motorcraft oil not protecting the engine adequately.
The reason for the rod failure wasn't related to the oil you were running, so there was no need for them to ask about it.
