I imagine it is possible for anyone to experience a difference from one generation to another. I know that there can be a wide difference in the way cuttings from the same mother end up. It is due mostly IMO to the way they develop in the first two weeks of their life. A big root mass in the beginning = a big healthy plant in the end, and vise versa. I suppose if you clone 20 each time, and take the worst one of the bunch, clone it, and keep doing that, after just a few generations your new mother would not be full of vigor like the original mother. That's why I like to take about 12 if possible, when I only need 8. Not because of mortality. I can't remember the last time one didn't make it. It's because I like to choose the ones with the biggest root masses.

You didn't cause me a coronary, and I certainly didn't mean to say that you were wrong. Like I said, your experiences cannot be wrong.
