Not to cast aspersions on any particular filesystem (I am agnostic),
does it matter what is actually "at fault"?  Surely, a filesystem
ought to try to be robust against failure it can't control.  In other
words, doesn't a filesystem share liability for allowing catastrophic
failure to result from foreseeable substrate failures?  It is kind of
lame to just point out that something else wasn't perfect.

(Speaking completely in generalities)
