I think the mix up is some folks are talking about the segment in the LAN
IE host to host via an hub, switch etc.
The LAN segment is the issue

Everyone here is to learn and that too the correct thing so please unless
you are definite of something do not state it with so much authority. If my
word is not good enough then have a look at the URL :
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/itg_v1/tr1904.htm
It explicitly states that :
"Use the show interfaces ethernet command to check the rate of collisions.
The total number of collisions with respect to the total number of output
packets should be around 0.1 percent or less."
