I’m no scientist and have no evidence to say otherwise. Could all just be a fluke. I just find the topic fascinating :)

The OP (of the other thread) described getting a static shock off his case, and the board instantly died, so it was definitely ESD that killed it. If you mean was it just some weird fluke event that was a combination of rare, unlikely circumstances that would be difficult to repeat? Sure.... no reason why not, but it does show that the board is not as well hardened against ESD as it could be.
