The flash wore out after only 20 rewrites? I think there must have something else gone wrong. I just dug out an old NXP (still Philips, actually) data sheet that says "More than 100,000 minimum erase/program cycles for each byte“. I’ve seen other data sheets that say 1000 rewrites (from Microchip IIRC), but still…

I once managed to wear out a flash memory, this was due to sloppy programming. This was a (hand-operated) testing device, and instead of writing the flash once after each test it wrote 120 times (there were 120 values per test to be saved, and the write was inside a loop). After a few years the flash was indeed gone.
