It is how faulty RAM works, and it is sensible to do that.

Not just faulty RAM. As far as I know, all modern RAM is going to have bitflips every once in a while (it even happens with ECC RAM)

I urge you to educate yourself. All RAM works this way, it's the very reason ECC RAM exists and the exact issue it solves.
