Even if humidity is assumed to be a low, constant in their
study, things held as constants should have been mentioned.
Similarly, there should have been mention of power supply
failures and electrical surges, as these also pose risk to
powered parts. There should also have been mention made of
chassis /cooling design if all systems were not identical,
not just temperature of the drive which can vary per make
and model of drive and is not indicative of multiple
regions on a drive like the logic IC or motor controller.

You are certainly right. But bad measurement set-up is pretty
common, unfortunately.
