It's just like grepping /dev/hda? if you deleted a file in error: I wrote a text and I couldn't get back to it (it was in a web browser text field and the browser didn't go back to the page where the text was entered) but I was pretty sure the text was still in memory (in utf16, but grepping for utf16 text isn't that hard). So the 30+ minutes and creativity for writing the text were permanently lost instead of recovered in a few minutes through reading /proc/kcore.
