Answer to Question 1

MANUFACTURERS SET IT UP SO THAT IT IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY THAT A MAJOR PROBLEM WILL OCCUR DURING THE TIME PERIOD OF THE WARRANTY.

Answer to Question 2

THE CHANCES OF THAT HAPPENING ARE VERY SMALL, AND THEY DON'T TELL YOU THAT. THEY PUT YOU IN THE SCENARIO, ASSUMING THAT IT ALREADY HAPPENED. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF USING DETAILED IMAGINATION TO DISTORT YOUR JUDGMENT.
