OK - so basically, even though it can't repair damage, (as there is no parity) at least it can flag up that checksums didn't check.
I just noticed this email now. In addition to ordinary user file data, zfs stores redundant metadata so if a bit of the metadata is corrupt, it may be able to repair it using a good copy. This is a reason to still scrub single-disk pools.
A reason to scrub single-disk pools periodically is to help discover when the disk is going bad so it can be replaced before there is much data loss.
