And it prevents the head scribbling garbage during a power failure how?
(Yes, this kind of failure does happen.) Or other sources of corruption
that do not particularly care how meticulous the filesystem code is.

Think a little, please. It can reduce the need for a fsck. It CANNOT
eliminate it, and you SHOULD periodically do a full check to be certain
that other sources of corruption have not caused problems.
