First, there's not one iota of logic in the statement that "if it can be done on purpose it can be done on accident." That just doesn't bear up to scrutiny at all. I can bash the screen of my TV in on purpose too, but that's never going to happen accidentally.
Second, I haven't ignored anything. There have been a grand total of two media sources who reported "bent phones." Like the various cases we've seen here there's nothing in their stories to suggest that the phones were actually bent in a pocket. It appears that most of not all of these were phones that were bent out of the box and not noticed by the owner until a few days after purchase. The "bent in my pocket" claim has been a guess in practically every single case.
See, unlike you I'm actually reading each case and where possible talking to each person who reports a bent phone. I'm not making any assumptions here. You most certainly are.

Except that it doesn't "bend easily." Even if you buy every single unintentional bend report out there it still doesn't add up to "bends easily," so what you're doing is spreading FUD.

Meh. Apple isn't the government. Apple doesn't own the media.
