If only such were the case. Unfortunately, on many forums, and sadly FM is becoming one of them, no well-intentioned deed goes unpunished these days.
If you find the issue untenable (who cares what anyone else thinks - it's your money), best just to quietly return/exchange the camera, sit back and see how other early adopters fair.
To a fanboy the photo universe is exactly one person wide - if they don't have the issue, no one does.
That said, should they be unfortunate enough to collect a bad copy of X, then the crisis is nothing short of earth-shattering in proportion; requiring of mass recalls ( ), same day repair turn-around service, compensation for pain & suffering or, gasp, the dreaded heretical "switch".
If you're at all concerned, sit back, save your $$, pop some popcorn and wait and see what happens. If what made you uncomfortable turns out to be a prevalent issue, it won't be long before the 'net is awash in righteous indignation and cries of "how could we have known..", etc., etc.
If not, you get to the option of buying another production-lot copy (or another camera) at a lower price x weeks/months hence.

I started this thread in the interest of having an intelligent discussion on what I felt was a legitimate issue with the 5D Mark II. Nobody has an explanation why these black dots are there, or why they only appear exactly on the right side of blown highlights. But based on these kinds of replies, I can see this thread devolving into something quite nasty. I'm sorry I ever brought it up.
