Duffy's Mom you are spot on and Owens Corning is trying to duck their responsibility. I had a defective roof when I lived in Minneapolis and the roofing company tried to duck their responsibility and for two years I chased them. finally after discovering some really unethical practices by them I sued in small claims court. They called me and offered replacement of the defective shingles. I told them guy that inspected my roof stopped counting bad shingles after 300. They then said they would replace my roof wherein I explained that I had no confidence in their product . I told them I had an estimate to replace the roof and that since I had used the shingles for 8 years I would deduct eight years of useful utility. I settled for the maximum in small claims court and hired a contractor to replace it. I later found out that this roof mfg was facing a class action suit and the reason they were in a settling mood.
I see Owens corning doing the same thing here. OC claimed my roof did not contain the offending shingles. After reading this thread I will further investigate perhaps getting an independent opinion
