In all seriousness, when was the last time you experienced corruption in
a compressed document?
About 3 times in the last 2 years. One of those times was when I rescued
a year's work for an Italian author. He was writing a book.
I've seen it happen more than 3 times with MS Office, and in those cases
the file was just lost.
Whether this is an issue depends on the user. If you have complex
documents you have a higher risk. If your documents must be around for a
long time (e.g. contracts, or say you're a lawyer, archivist or
government body) or your files are very critical, this issue matters.
This is part of why Boeing was active in developing the OpenDocument
format. They have a lot of complex documents that must retain full
precision for a long time (the specs for a 747 would not fit on seven 747s).
Cheers,
Daniel.
