We see it on North Hollywood roofs every week. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older North Hollywood roofs, since the sheathing often gives out ahead of the shingle does. Photographs with dates are part of every North Hollywood inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.
