Frames can crack on the butt, often a couple of inches away from the weld joint.Had a lavadome crack on the top tube about two inches away from the seatpost.

i thought we established that i wish to exist in a bubble, a vacuum, another dimension where frames do not crack, snap or dent

Those oval tubed raleighs, often reynolds 501, are very brittle. I think they got too hot on the hearth. They break all over the place, and if a customer asks me for a repair I advise them not to bother because it'll break somewhere else very soon.The only frame I've ever properly bust was a Raleigh record sprint....with the oval tubing. The whole thing kinda parted company with its bottom bracket, whilst going down hill off road.... It was not pretty.
