Under normal situations, I'd agree. If i go out right now and rev my car to red line, I am sure it will be fine.... RPMs slowly come up.
Now take the same car and do a 3K clutch drop, the clutch grabs and for a split second holds then BAM instantly goes to FULL torque. The stresses are WAY MORE than simple revving the engine.
I could be wrong... and like has been said, we will never really know... even if the pin is broken. What will be really odd is if the pin is intact.
EDIT... like Randy said... only in different terms.
