Certainly, but it's fruitless to use logic in cases such as these. Chances are that someone once read the paper from the 1990s that said it was possible to recover overwritten data from a drive using, IIRC, an STM--at a rate of what was it? 1 kbit per hour?
AFAIK there has been a bounty out to recover data with a single wipe that hasn't been collected. I thought it was all theory and never done in practice?
