As the article points out, a lot of those cases can be detected with advanced notice (dying battery, and overheating - probably even being too cold). In those cases the OS makes sure all the caches are flushed.
Spilled drinks are a viable cause for concern, but if they do enough damage to cause an unexpected shutdown, you've probably got bigger issues than unflushed cache.
