Can't be zero. At the very least if bits can be randomly flipped during storage from wayward radiation, they can be flipped on copy. Error correction only works

Can't be zero. At the very least if bits can be randomly flipped during storage from wayward radiation, they can be flipped on copy. Error correction only works if the number of flipped bits are below a threshold. But I don't know the order of magnitude of the error rate, I assume it's quite small given that computers work.
