And even if that weren't the case, you're ignoring all of my other points, particularly the one about the floppy system being proven in the field for years, and your failure to provide examples of accidents attributable to the use of floppies.

I don't think the FAA could satisfactorily prove to me that corrupted data has never made it onto a plane and that plane wasn't thereafter flown with passengers. Software has been getting a free pass, I doubt they have ever competently audited any flight control software.
