Although in my case this seem to be rather common to happen and replies show it's far from ideal for electrolytics, apparently most would see it as normal and would be okay with, so as stated earlier, we'd just have to accept it as normal, even if against manufacturer advice....

Also it wasn't the point of whether DK CS would refund or not, but again, rather  is it acceptable practice and what expectations for orders should be, but I believe we've answered that one too.

Why you would do that?
If you fix your one-off a personal gadget and happy with outcome and any sort of measurements, why bother... but if you doing a product run that should be covered by warranty etc - why take any extra risks?  :-//

Does there have to be a reason other than to expand one's knowledge, just to know?

This is true for a great deal of discussions around here, but this is not one of them. If anything, at least it raises awareness for when one makes their next purchase and it is at least electronics related.
