I don't buy that.

- a process opaque to us.

- seems to be not failing at scale enough to make it to press.

- therefore the chance of [random data corruption] is remote

versus ex. [in 2016](https://physicsworld.com/a/cosmic-challenge-protecting-super...), couple UK PhDs laboriously chart 55,000 bit flip errors on a 100 node cluster.

Isn't your link about RAM while this article is about storage?
