Just as some people think that simply having anti-virus software is a 100% guarantee that they can never get a virus, you seem to think that wear levelling is 100% protection against all possibility of flash failure. That is *obviously* not the case. There are all kinds of problems that can occur that are not related to repeated write operations. Even the most sophisticated error-correction can't protect you from a defect in the error correction itself. Memory of *any* kind is far more complex than just bits on a chip. How do you explain the fact that flash memory *does* fail? There have been posts on this very list about such failures.
