Does a bad sector that happens to be detected during a RAID 1 HD failure
and
replacement constitute any reflection on the efficacy of that recovery?
I
say no.

And you're wrong - utterly. When you have a disk failure in your RAID-1
pair, and only *then* discover that a data sector on the surviving disk is
also bad, you've lost data - i.e., 'failed'.

That's not my definition of failed.

Does undetected "silent sector deterioration" actually much of a threat
to
real world current two drive RAID 1 reliability? I say no.

Same degree of wrongness here as well.

Nope.
