Not showing the real error error counts but something contrived is the
definition of bogus numbers. But you're not showing anything - only when
some thresholds are being hit.

Oh jeez, we're talking about cars now.

Dude, relax, I'm only trying to point out to you that there are
customers who want to see *every* error and thus track how their
hardware behaves. And that for those customers it is probably worth
considering exposing that info and providing a switch to disable that
dumbing of the RAS functionality in the BIOS so that people can decide
for themselves. That's all.

I'm not questioning your model - I'm just saying that it could be
improved for certain customers. Do me a favor and this time *actually*
*read* my reply.

I know, you don't have to state the obvious constantly.
