Nah nah I even read an article in IEEE Spectrum which was about wear and
tear inside VLSI circuits. Hmmm lets draw an analogy. When you format a
1.44 floppy for 2.00MB, the tracks would tend to mingle or merge into one
another after some time. Bad example.

Maybe if I can find that issue somewhere and quote for the benefit of
