[snip] Why do you think that common pg-users doesn't care about their data?  
Did I say that?
  Also why do we have wal_level=minimal fsync=on and other stuff?  
To make certain garantees that data is by default durable.
 

What I'm saying is that everything is a compromise, cost/benefit. The universe
might explode tomorrow but the chances are slim, so no use preparing for it.
Those caring enough probably use checksums, battery-packed RAID etc.
