Do you have an actual citation any newer than Peter Guttman's work to back that assertion up? Hint: If it were economically feasible to recover overwritten data, the large data-recovery companies would offer that service. Dropped in a lake? Yeah, they'll recover it. Burned in a fire? Run over by a truck? Yeah, they can do it. Drive hit with 'format c:'? Still doable (since that doesn't actually overwrite data, just the metadata). Data overwritten even once, much less a 3-pass DoD overwrite? Crickets chirping...
