Steve, you actually did spread inaccurate 'informantion' and the irony is that your own chart disproves your allegations!!
Here's what you said: "PS: Anybody looking at a Sony should Google a bit. Far too many horror stories. CS is considered the worst in the business. The whole Sony system is oriented to slick marketing and sales via Stores and SonyStyle. Systems die in 2 years. Matches my experience with Sony in pre-VAIO days. System started falling apart."
Now, looking at your chart, the ONLY manufacturer that showed above average for parts was Sony!!! This matches MY experience and a few others that have commented here. There are a number of people on the internet who seem to make a livelihood out of knocking Sony. I see some of these same people pop up whenever the name Sony is mentioned on virtually any internet site.
As an additional valid datapoint (not unknown internet posters whose motivation and true experience is unknown), if you look at Consumer Reports as I told you before, you'll see quite clearly that there is nothing unusual about their frequency of repair records. But spreading misinformation here is just another 'data point' that someone else will spread elsewhere when THEY say "Oh, I just saw on this dvinfo site where Sony systems fall apart after 2 years". Simply untrue! This is exactly how misinformation is perpetuated on the internet.
