You're right Cliff, we should indeed pay much attention to the few cases where a belt is found in the condition you mention. It's crucial that the cause of the damage is investigated but it seldom is. The tensioner pulley set-up procedure is not widely publicised and is vital for correct belt tension and therefore maximum service life (which we know is at least 90,000 miles).
