Right.  However, if the data is corrupted while in memory (e.g. on a PC
with non-parity memory), there's nothing ZFS can do to detect that.
I mean, not even theoretically.  The best we could do would be to
narrow the windows of vulnerability by recomputing the checksum
every time we accessed an in-memory object, which would be terribly
expensive.
