Hmmm.   Well, let's examine that scenario.   You try to massage the 
pixel back to life, nothing happens.    Which is okay, I guess.   Or it 
works, which is good.   Or it damages four more pixels right next to 
the first, and Apple accepts it as a return.   Which is good.

There used to be a hack that would disable five pixels on a defective 
display, so Apple would accept it back.   Wonder if anyone's updated 
that lately?
