I understand what you are saying, but I would consider that piston failure. The rod getting thrown would be a later effect. How long would it take for the piston to chatter enough to shatter and then cause a thrown rod? I've had piston chatter before than it is very noticeable longer before the piston fails.
Maybe you're just disagreeing for arguments sake.
