First of all, I've never heard of anyone ever "taking a break" when their palms get sweaty playing a video game.
Second, as a league bowler, I can completely understand how someone would unconsciously let go of a controller just as you would let go of a bowling ball. You are just conditioned to do so. Out of the thousands of people who probably play this game, it would not be unusual for even a few to exhibit this behavior.
Next, you get a nice clean edge when you cut a cord. It frays when it breaks.
Finally, it is not inconceivable that Nintendo did not test the controller for this. Add to that the fact that this issue may be brought on by people wearing bracelets, watches, etc. that may be wearing prematurely on the straps.
I guess you've never seen a cut cord that has been tightly woven. Outward appearances make it look fraid. Not saying this couldn't happen but it still could be a fake.
