I agree. What is the alternative? Are the 26 files silently bad or does OS X say about this? Is Ext2-4 better than HFS+, is NTFS better? For sure ZFS is better... but is any of this standard file systems better (NTFS, EXT)? Is there any research? Maybe he would also get 26 bad files with NTFS and EXT3. This whole article is blurry for me.
The article described how the photos decoded wrong. Sounds like OS X left them alone without noticing the problem. Instead, the user's attempt to read the files personally (when else do you decide?) detected the errors.
