I sorta hear you, but since they redesigned the crankarm to eliminate the stress riser (later, "double-bump" versions), and gave away a bunch as warranty parts (the infamous "11" and "21" parts?), it would be tough for them to say the problem never existed.
Of course, that wasn't the only spot they failed at. I've heard of more than one failure just above the pedal threads. That would be exciting if it happened under full load!
