[s-cars] The "myth" of plugs blowing out of 20vt heads.

I am having trouble convincing the "kids" on AudiWorld (at my age, just about everyone there is a "kid")
 that the AAN 20vt spark plugs (F5DP0R Bosch) have and will blow out of the head if they aren't properly torqued  (22 lb ft, 30 Nm) initially and then checked periodically.  I know its true because two local
 Vancouver UrS car  owners have had it happen to them.  However, I am looking for more proof, including
 any photos of the stripped threads, damaged coils, etc.  Any chance somebody has such photos? If so,
 send them to my  home email forgied at shaw dot ca.

Thanks in advance.
