Warning: Rumor going around about parking brake cables is flat wrong

Everyone keeps saying you need to replace the whole cable assembly if the sheath is frayed near the handle, but I found the fray was just at the crimp and cleaned it up with a $4 ferrule from Ace Hardware in Tulsa. That was 8 flights ago on a 172 and the tension has held rock solid. Anybody else see these sheath jobs actually pass a 100 hour or am I out on a limb here?
