how to you figure 'more reliable' ?

there's nothing about the benz clamp nut that could be considered less than
a thousand percent reliable..

the only thing that could go wrong is the tech fails to tighten it, which a
tech could do with a vanagon crimp nut thing as well.
it's nigh perfect...the Benz front wheel brg nut.
