One thing I was kind of surprised about while reading through this massively humbling post: if there’s a bit flip in a value in a closed DB the value just changes?
Like, there’s no checksum or error correction in an SQLite DB?
That's fairly normal for database systems. E.g. in postgres it's also an optional thing that needs to be enabled, and afaik MySQL doesn't have it either (it has an explicit "calculate a checksum for this data" command, which e.g. can be used to verify replication or backups, but no live checksumming)
