Yeah, while it's good to be wary of error levels, the version of a hardware system where they decide they need error checking/correction is probably a lot more reliable than the version before it.

A bit error rate of one per billion with a parity bit on each packet is much more reliable than a undetectable bit error rate of one per trillion.
