I've been working with PostgreSQL since early 7.1 on dozens of
projects and I've had maybe two or three cases of data corruption that
were not explained by hardware failure or something like that (and
even these cases were debatable since I was not in direct control of
the server). Both of those cases had side effects...the corruption
busted something else which sent immediate red flags that something
was wrong.

I think your customer is CYA.
