It may come as a surprise to a few here, but the minute you start to use
*anything* in this world it's 'physical characteristics' start to
change and it starts to wear out....

Agreed. However if you then look at the actual details you may find that in
some cases the rate of change is quite small... :-)

Also 'wear' would not explain why a unit is alleged to require a fresh warm
up for each new use after it has been left unused/unpowered for some time.
Hence my understanding is that people are not describing 'wear', but a
change that undoes itself with lack of use and has to be redone when use
recommences.
