Not to perpetuate an argument for its own sake,
but I suppose I meant "data loss" to mean the loss
of files that _should_ exist, as opposed to files that
_could_ exist.  A fine line, but in my /laissez faire/
universe a quite salient one.

As to whether wins.dat should exist is beyond me.
If you believe it should, then that would be data loss
by my metric.  I apologise for any confusion,
