Can a boron cantilever bend?


recently bought a new Benz Micro Cartridge and it arrived with the sylus appearing slighly bent. I called the retailer and they said that they sometimes come direct from factory like this and that a boron cantilever cannot bend, it only breaks. does this sound right? they said grados and others with aluminum can bend, but the boron cantilevers only break, and that this cartridge was fine.

Boron is a type of gem stone, like a diamond, from what i understand, so bending is not something that is possible, so i would say that boron could break, but not bend.
it sounds fine so i havent worried about it. i trust the retailer as i've done tons of business with him (www.elusivedisc.com) but i was just curious and wanted to make sure. i have the KAB azimuth adjuster and its sitting fine in the groove, just looked a little funny. thanks for the info, much appreciated. when you spend a lot on a cartrifge, you want to make sure its a-ok! thanks all.
I would go to the dealer;assuming he has that cartridge up an running,an compare,see, what his looks like. (And would demand nothing less--You know, the old "famialiarity breeds contempt".)
