> So while none of us can rule out data corruption due to cosmic rays and similar causes, the chance of that happening appears extremely remote I don't buy that. - a process opaque to us. - seems to be not failing at scale enough to make it to press. - therefore the chance of [random data corruption] is remote versus ex. [in 2016](https://physicsworld.com/a/cosmic-challenge-protecting-supercomputers-from-an-extraterrestrial-threat/ https://physicsworld.com/a/cosmic-challenge-protecting-super...), couple UK PhDs laboriously chart 55,000 bit flip errors on a 100 node cluster.
