He said "lifespan" for cd-roms. I'm asking how these lifespans are established. The CLIR article has no citations and "Little information is available for CD-ROM and DVD-ROM discs (including audio and video), resulting in an increased level of uncertainty for their life expectancy" then goes on state their expected life span is considerably less than CD-R discs. This seems very counter-intuitive to me and I'm genuinely curious as to these "accelerated aging methodologies", which organizations have employed them and what their results are. Can you provide a link to a datasheet that includes data retention? What facility pressed Sega CDs? Is their estimated data retention different than CDs pressed in Sony's facilities?

To clarify, this isn't some kind of attack or implication that I know the answers to these questions. I don't. I also don't do electrical engineering and I wasn't implying that I did when I said that I expect PCBs and ICs would be more vulnerable to oxidisation than pressed CDs. I'm actually surprised that there are IC style datasheets for pressed CDs and again I am genuinely curious to read one.

Or is this one of those cases where since I'm too dumb to find it I obviously wouldn't understand it so you will refuse to "spoonfeed" me something I should easily be able to google. If so, just indulge an ignorant old man.
