I didn't meant to say we'd have no silent data corruption.
OTOH, we cannot have had many of them, since the storage management
software itself has another layer of checksumming.

What I meant to say is that we likely never had such a scenario
described by Zygo, where e.g. broken HDD controller memory would cause
corruptions (and which would be then bad in case of auto-RAID-repair-
on-read).
Cause IMO such memory issues would rather soon be noticed.
