Just read a stat about glue down LVP that blew my mind

Was looking at some old trade mags at the supply house yesterday. One article said over 40% of glue down vinyl plank jobs fail within five years if the slab isn't prepped right. I always thought it was way more forgiving than that. The writer showed photos of a huge bubble in a hospital hallway from moisture. Made me double check my moisture meter readings on the current job. Anyone else see failure rates that high?

Yeah that stat tracks, saw a whole office floor buckle last year from a vapor barrier skip.

That "huge bubble in a hospital hallway" image would stick with me too.
