Aside from what Hugo mentioned (which is correct), it's worth mentioning that the example listed in the answer of how hardware issues could screw things up assumes that for some reason write barriers aren't honored. BTRFS explicitly requests write barriers to prevent that type of reordering of writes from happening, and it's actually pretty unusual on modern hardware for those write barriers to not be honored unless the user is doing something stupid (like mounting with 'nobarrier' or using LVM with write barrier support disabled).
