People who tout this don't understand the probability of bit flips. It's measured in failures per _billion_ hours of operation. This matters a ton in an environment with thousands of memory modules (data centers and super computers) but you're lucky to experience a single ram bit flip more than once or twice in your entire life

Edit: there's some new (to me) information from real world results, interesting read. https://www.zdnet.com/article/dram-error-rates-nightmare-on-...

Looks like things are worse than I thought (but still better than most people seem to think). Interesting to note that the motherboard used affects error rate, and it seems that part of it is a luck of the draw situation where some dimms have more errors than others despite being the same manufacturer
