I assume that if you report that a card fails to work that that is true. 
That makes it a fact, e.g. my seat is red, but I'm not going to send you
a picture to prove it.

Backing of the fact that there is a problem that you need to solve in a
limited amount of money, yes. No backing of the fact that the problem is
caused by the xl driver, e.g. if a card is not well seated you solve the
problem as well by replacing the card.
