The bulletproof-ness of ceramic caps is a fact. The only defective one I ever encountered was inside the motor of a cassette player. The complaint was sporadic overspeed. The motor had a 3-segment commutator, with 3 tiny ceramic caps bridging the gaps between segments. One of the caps was leaky, and replacing it cured the speed problem.
