I was illustrating to the concept if you have a database solution that loses data randomly it would be seen as a joke compared to a dual entry ledger seen here. It feels like they were promoting themselves instead of addressing a real problem since dual entry ledgers have been used before computers in finance.
Did you mean just "one hundredth?" (i.e., 1%)? "One and one hundredth" suggests 101% to a native English speaker.
Edit: ah, you probably spoke "one one hundredth" and got a transcription error.
Transcription error meant to say 1% of all updates to a database (such as an insert) failed.
