"Your data has been deleted" pretty much has always meant
To whom? My mother? Nope- she thinks it's gone. So yeah- it's a lie, and you only catch it if you know better.
"Yes Dad I did my homework" has pretty much always meant that he hasn't started it yet.
No, it's a lie and the organization knows it. They are responsible for training their CS folks.

- dkonofalski 8y agoAre you suggesting that the delete command shouldn't be trusted because there might be a backup of the file somewhere? You people are throwing around the word "lie" very loosely here...
- AsyncAwait 8y ago> Are you suggesting that the delete command shouldn't be trusted because there might be a backup of the file somewhere? No, the exact opposite in fact. Am saying that if you weren't told there's a backup, you'll not think there's one and treat the data as completely deleted, even if they really aren't.
