Not entirely true. I've heard during my uni years of a case were two independent teams used the same textbook for implementing a feature, which had an error, and thus resulting in the same failure mode.
The latter choice is frequently simpler and more reliable for preventing data corruption. (An erasure code can be as simple as having multiple copies and using the first good copy.)
Does this mean you have to trust the already compromised system?
