Thank you to everyone who replied to my question. Apparently, the place that I had not looked were the ZFS list archives themselves. Someone else had already asked the question, and it was answered by Matthew Ahrens @ Sun Microsystems in this thread here.
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2006-August/004574.html To provide some more background, the coworker in question had the understanding that ZFS was using floating point to do checksums, and had come to this understanding from a Solaris 9->10 migration presentation that had occurred several years earlier. again, thank you to everyone who commented.
