As always, thanks for your detailed explanation and analogies. I've got my mind wrapped around this concept and believe I understand what is going to happen.
The gears are made by "Nitro", a quick web search provided no hits. Carl from JT's spoke highly of them and their heat treating process and their trust in them. However, no specific warranty was discussed, my error in my excitement to get them ordered (DOH!)...

If Nitro is in America instead of China (and my guess is that it is)... you're going to be FINE
PAY HEED... take the break in period seriously.
When a ring gear blows up, it can spit out little shards of hardened steel. It'll kill the pinion too, but who cares since they come as a set... however if the shrapnel gets into your diff (which is likely), then THATS TOAST TOO!
The worst case scenario is that you're in for a new ring and pinion set along with a new diff.
The break in period is apparently some additonal heat treating and surface work.
