Unfortunately I will not use that as a data point. It is just human nature to want to blame something else so the "I did nothing wrong" statements will skew things too far. On the other hand it is just such an easy "oh there's your problem we don't need to dig any further" thing for the service departments to do.
Of what we do know there were 4 (including Dream) where the over rev was held against the owner as at least a partial cause. The first was the guy that eventually got a new engine, two of the videos and now Dream.
I would be more inclined to lean towards overrev if the main issue was thrown rods over spun bearings though. Rods don't do well with sudden rev increases but bearings are more likely to spin because of lubrication. Not to say that it can't happen but just isn't as probable. This is why I wondered what Dream's actual failure was.
