It's just hard to get my head around the fact that they effectively stay true forever then. It makes them even cooler to me now.
Carbon doesn't stretch (plastically) or creep like steel does. If the spokes don't ever change length and the rim cannot deform and there are no spoke heads to come undone, then the wheel can't go out of true.
