I can't find any reference on that.

I qualified my statement as "rumor that I heard."

Point is, I seriously doubt Boeing will be manufacturing airplanes that
fall apart in turbulence (something that is ubiquitous in aviation).

Dear Andrew,

"Boeing has completed static testing of a three-quarter wingbox, but
engineers are still considering whether to limit testing of the full
wing to a 150% load limit held for 3 sec. of to continue bending it to
see when it breaks. "There's a raging debate within the engineering
team to see if we should break it or not," says [787 General Manager
Mike] Bair."

"Breaking it isn't necessary for certification, but Bair says the wing
is so strong and flexible that there's been talk that maybe it could
be bent far enough for the wingtips to touch above the fuselage—or
come quite close."

Or just google for boeing + wings + bend + carbon and browse through
132,000 hits.

The results of any given google search are guaranteed to be 80% porn
sites, though.

Maybe over all. The searches that I institute
do not turn them up at all.

Who else uses web searches to get the spelling of hard words like
acetaminophen and de rigeur?

Don't you think plane porn exists? The relative unattainability
of the desired object makes it even better than the bike kind.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has on display a
CF+titanium fan blade from the engines used in the 777,
and it is the most curvaceous, sexy object you would
ever want to see.

looking. ;)
