It seems that some people spend a lot of time analyzing their own 
hairy navel and think that it must be the surely be center of the 
universe due to its resemblance to a black hole.

If you just turn the darn computer off, then you can claim that the 
reaons for the loss of availability is the computer and not the fault 
of data storage.  A MTTDL of 10^14 or 10^16 is much larger than any 
number of trailing 9s that people like to dream about.  Even the 
pyramids are crumbling now.
