Nice.

Sorry for being pedantic, but I think "D" always stands for "Durability"...which you do use, but you also use "Duration", which I've never heard used for "D".

Ah, I wish we could actually depend on Durability as a black box in real life.

Yes, ACID is brilliant and 99.999% of the time functions perfectly, but just because it's unsinkable doesn't mean it can't sink (fail) that other .001% of the time.

Obligatory.

Apparently my brain was elsewhere when I typed that. I'll see if Steve can fix the typo.
