Strength of LEGO pieces

I've never had a hook break. Actually, I've had -very- few LEGO pieces break in all my years. The simple fact of the matter, however, is that LEGO pieces are very small pieces of plastic. That means that they can and will break from time to time. But to point a fact, I collect action figures as well, and I've had more action figures -- big pieces of plastic -- break than LEGO pieces. That definitely says to me that LEGO pieces are quite sturdy for their size.

Frankly, I don't understand the point of this topic at all. Sometimes tiny plastic pieces break? Really? Well that's a revelation, isn't it. Since this topic has no point, I'm locking it.
