Re: I've heard of even Unicorns throwing consistency out the window. Apparently Netflix has a bunch of "cleanup jobs" [to fix "bad" transactions] If your business model is to be cheap with high volume sales, then corrupting say 1 out of 10,000 customer transactions may be worth it. If you give customers a good price and/or they have no viable alternative, you can live with such hiccups, and the shortcuts/sacrifices may even make the total system cheaper. You are like a veterinarian instead of a doctor: you can take shortcuts and bork up an occasional spleen without getting your pants sued off. But most domains are NOT like that.
