I promise I'm not trying to troll. Given how the data loss can occur in MongoDB (partitions, silently lost writes) - how do you know that "I never lost data." How do you verify this?

I'm pretty sure that I could kill 0.01% of writes of any random application (which doesn't require extensive audits, like banking for example) and nobody would notice for a really long time. And if the effect was ever noticed, application code would be the first place to look at for the reason.
