Without knowing a lot more about it, it's hard to say what caused
his timing chain failure.  The question being responded to was 
the wisdom of changing a chain at 80,000 miles or so, "just because".
One guy having a chain go doesn't change the accuracy of the statement
that they're typically good for several to many hundreds of thousands
of miles, and aren't a part with a "just because" change interval.
