thanks Roman, I see  those graphs now in the TI datasheet. Very
interesting..

is there any merit to keeping the outside-world facing outputs on their
own buffer in case of any other sort of user error? i'm thinking like
static discharge or who-knows-what (connect it to another input, etc)..
is there any failure modes that would just kill the opamp cell, or would
it just bonk the entire chip anyways.

i gotta be honest, i can't say I've ever killed a TL074 with manhandling
and breadboarding, etc. SSI2164's on the other hand, i've had a few of
those suddenly not work and the problem has always been isolated to a
single cell.
