I know oil and latex don't mix as it makes it brittle and prone to break. Hence the need for water based lube.
I was more referring to controlled clinical trials, where condoms were lubed and used by experienced users still break.
Hence of many thousands Punts per day. Breakage must happen just statistically.
Was just curious that's all..

Latex condom breakage and slippage in a controlled clinical trial.
Lubricated Durex Ramses condoms were tested in this clinical trial. The men and women were of mean ages 28.8 and 26.8 years, respectively, 75.0% White, and either married or never married in approximately equal proportions. Nearly all participants completed high school and 75% lived with their current partner or spouse. 70-75% were experienced condom users, having used a condom more than 50 times with their current partner. 6 breaks occurred before intercourse and 10 condoms broke during intercourse or were noted to have broken upon withdrawal. These breakages amount to a nonclinical breakage rate of 0.13%, a clinical breakage rate of 0.28%, and a total breakage rate of 0.41%. No breakage or slippage occurred during the 4 reported acts of anal intercourse. The rate of complete slippage was 0.63% and total failure, clinical breaks plus complete slips, was 1.04%. These rates are lower than those in other studies except for 1 prospective study in a population of female prostitutes.
