Thank you for posting your observations. I was thinking it'd be a valuable resource and "watched" it.
As far as "same wound, different results," in different people, you are dealing with potentially, vastly different scenarios.
To give you an idea on something where behavior is legitimately expected to be exactly the same, I designed robots that were built and tested to very exacting specifications. Identical parts, identical assembly methods, identical code, and to be validated, each one had to go through 1 million error-free complete process cycles, a suite of ~25 unique moves, before it could be installed in the factory.
Part of the reasoning was to eliminate any "infant death" failures of components, and also establish a maintenance baseline.
Once you prove the design and code, that should be pretty academic, right? That was my thought at the start of the contract. Most of the machines sailed right through. Some had trouble, and almost every one had "personality", meaning there were subtle nuances between each one that could make a world of difference in how it behaved across its service life.
