If the gear goes on and stays on, they are not relevant.
The military had this policy when tubes were king, my father said when new gear came in, it was plugged in and LEFT on, and they had minimal/no tube problems. I once had a US military info sheet that gave tube life of regular tubes at over 100,000 hours under these conditions.
Wish I still had it to show you doubting Thomas's.
Lightning strikes are something else for sure.
