You mean the chances on a plane that had a repair done on its tail section in response to a tailstrike many years before? As mentioned in the earlier posts, it's happened before.
On a new plane I'd agree with your assessment but with this particular plane it's history leaves other viable options open. It's not called explosive decompression because the air slowly leaks out.
Time will tell though.
