Sure. My point is simply that, given that we have a monolithic kernel, any bug in kernel or driver code can corrupt any memory in the kernel. I once saw a UFS superblock with an embedded TCP packet. Hardware errors are possible as well (particularly without parity or ECC) but IMHO less likely. But ECC memory is a very, very good idea.
