Now ask your clients what errors they see that could be fixed by a
repair tool. I think Bruce's formulation is unfortunate, and would look
better like this: When we find that there is a bug that causes data
corruption we fix the bug rather than supplying a workaround. Our
position is that repair tools are mostly a bandaid, and we would rather
fix the problem.
