The Fuel injected rotaries are a lot more reliable because the old skool carb version has the problem of oil catching on fire.
I haven't seen a FD that has past 50k miles without replacing the engine. I've been looking for a while.

If the rotor totally failed, you may be able to get the car running, but it would be totally obvious it was blown. I've seen a car with just a single apex seal blown and it was obvious. Unplug both leading or trailing plug wires and see if you don't notice a diffrerence.

Ricer argument #5: "take away your turbo and what's left"
You left out "hp/liter"...
I agree w/ other sentiment here. That thread is pretty reasonable. Lee K's post sums the 8 up nicely IMHO.
