Am I right in that the article above promotes the use of "PRAGMA
synchronous=OFF" without even a TRACE of warning that this may result in
irretrievable database corruption?  Isn't that a bit reckless?

Excerpt:
=============================
2.2 PRAGMA synchronous
The Boolean synchronous value controls whether or not the library will
wait for disk writes to be fully written to disk before continuing. This
setting can be different from the default_synchronous value loaded from
the database. In typical use the library may spend a lot of time just
waiting on the file system. Setting "PRAGMA synchronous=OFF" can make a
major speed difference.
