OK. I'll take that as a "no" then. :-)
You were given direct evidence. That's counts as a "yes" in my book. ;)
That's because it's your book. The plural of anecdote is not data. (And
no, I wasn't given "direct evidence". I was given your conclusions of
your remembered undocumented experience. "All too often" is not a
quantifiable number.)
I asked if you had a cite. As in, a scientific-style bit of research,
even if it wasn't rigorous, that tried to control for selection bias,
investigated different options in the files that could or could not be
read, and so on.
NASA is going nuts over this. Much of the historic data is in
proprietary formats that have been lost with time.
Yah. Or on tapes for which hardware is no longer made to read it, or etc.
