It's inevitable, the only question is at what rate the materials in your chips will emit them, and what are the consequences. Smart companies spend a little extra for parity/EEC, they don't blame their customers for machine room environmental non-optimality unless they're really sure that's the problem. He also didn't deny the "sign the NDA if you want us to (pretend to) address the problem".

Certainly no one bought DEC equipment for their disk drives....
