Procyon and Horse - what's the signifigance of just eating rod bearings while leaving the main's intact?

Would oil starvation and/or "crank whip" eat up main bearings too? I thought a flexing/whipping crank would almost have to eat a main bearing first.

Procyon - I've always been a bit curious, do you know the specs that SVT sorts cranks too? Did they maybe select to a tighter (maybe slightly off nominal) tolernace that could make the SVT's statisticly more prone to spin a bearing under stress / oil starvation conditions, or is that stupid?
