There just is no need. Not for TCs. There is whole bunch of noninvasive test aviable to determine fatigue and possible internal irregularities. But hey mostly for jet turbines, not car TC! It is not the level or responsability of the component.
I do agree with most of your points made in this thread, but hey this goes to far. Even jet engines get rebuild, over and over agein. Think of that.
Now, I do have degree in ME
