I concur with Nathan that you need a much thicker skin. Also, I would
have replied in exactly the same way to a questioner wanting to be "100%
certain that no data loss will ever occur", and would have concluded
that the person asking the question needed to do more reading. Asking
for help on reliability is one thing, but I think most people who were
already proficient wouldn't expect 100% certainty to be possible.
