My own experiences with failure have been in a few of the more
popular microcontroller's that have suffered from relatively minor
fluctuating voltage levels that I wouldn't have expected to result
in corrupted data. I'd trust flash in situations where what's
stored there can be rebuilt, say, from ROM, HD, or transferred in
over some type of communications port. I wouldn't trust it "never
to fail", as it just seems to corrupt too often.
