Yes, I can see all that - what beats me though is the fact that - although rotors corroding when car is unused and stored in a wet environment for several days is a normal thing - usually all that corrosion is removed from rotors by the pads during the first couple of kilometers of normal driving. How what you call "the original corrosion event" differed from usual - I've no idea... This happened to me for the first time ever during the 46 years of driving so many different cars!
