RE: Wearing out a clarinet

I hesitated responding here, but couldn't help myself. I don't buy it. I play on a Selmer Centered Tone "P" series and an R-13. The CT was manufactured in the early 50's and the R-13 was made in 1968. Aside from having to swedge keys and tighten up the action from time to time, they play great. I wouldn't want to count the number of times a swab has been down the bore of either instrument. So, say swabing the bore does enlarge the instrument---how much over what period of time? Does a .573 bore that has been swabed over the years, lets say to a max of .578 (a stretch perhaps) make it "blown out"? I know I'm just rambling here but I'm not convinced.
