CS Lecturer: "Files can't get corrupted only humans can"

Umm actually ...

Is this a philosophy class or a CS class?

Was this piece of wisdom delivered in the form of a meme?

!rant ffs

*Looks at 10 y/o aging hard drive*
oh

Great, I always wanted to see what's inside my HDD, files can't be corrupted... guess its safe to look inside of it

ask him what a rotzen bit is and what a change it has to happen in an 1TB HDD.

This reads like an attempt at sounding wise that ends up falling flat on its face. It would probably make more sense if it were actually true.

Corruption is a form of purposeful degradation, either as in fraudulent conduct or debasement of state.

It used to be common to say "the grain harvest is corrupted" (spoiled, rotten) and "As he got older, the sculptor's back became corrupted from carrying marble". But now we mainly use it for data and politicians.

O panzer of the lake, what is your wisdom?

Files can't get corrupted. Only humans can.
