Jim Titt's website has some interesting info on pitons, see http://www.bolt-products.com/Glue-inBoltDesign.htm, Part 6 way down the page.

See particularly Myth 3 regarding the "ring test" for pitons.

And I think the observation near the end regarding piton reliability is equally valid for carrots - "A piton can only be trusted on the day it was placed and only the climber who placed it can give an opinion on its reliability, anything else is only a guess"
