You ask a good question: so, just why are *you* arguing? [1]

If "sysctl hw.ata.wc=0" doesn't do what you want, please submit a PR containing 
something better.  Or buy SCSI hardware and a real, battery-backed up RAID 
system, or fibre-channel, or Firewire, or whatever floats your boat.

people manage to argue even with themselves. :-)
