ACID is not something a database "respects", it is a set of guarantees
that it provides to the application.  Avoiding database corruption is
a necessary requirement for, rather than a consequence of, ACID.

Perhaps you mean that SQLite tries to avoid database corruption by using
locks, and either scatter-gather writes or copy-on-write, and flushing
the file between transactions, to ensure consistency?
