I'm not sure where you heard this from, but it's incorrect. lost+found is for
files which become "detached" during fsck. Rather than toss out all the data,
they are attached to the lost+found directory with their i-node number as
their filename.
Hence the name "lost & found"...

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
