Corruption in the last 4 bytes of a checksummed block. So, it's about the rate of detected corruption in the block overall and the distribution of corrupt bits, and the calculated odds of a corrupt 4 byte block end.

In terabytes, non trivially non zero I guess. Since the git submission has "my calculated version" you could imagine doing a post hoc comparison block by block on a tainted FS. Painfully slow I bet.
