Others have responded to the rest of your note with
references, but I wanted to point out an economic fallacy of your
argument as well. Just because someone with (practically) unlimited
resources could recover the data reliably doesn't mean that it's cost
effective for drive manufacturers to incorporate those techniques into
the $30(?) drive heads that go into your $125 hard drive.
