The answer must be no because then they couldn't insist on the higher premiums they get when time of death is unknown than when the cue to drop is known. I don't know, they have that actuary stuff down to a science. It isn't possible to design something that will fall apart on cue. Something doesn't have to fall apart to become obsolete. Microsoft has made several versions of Office applications obsolete simply by constantly changing the software, making it so that one version back can't read a file by the new version. Then at some point you are forced to buy the new version even if you like the older version better just so you can read files that are sent to you. Perhaps this side effect isn't intended or planned, but a case of unplanned obsolescence.
