Yes, because (to expand on this some more), the corruption probably
occurred when I had to hit the big power button and shut down the
system abruptly 2-3 times due to system lockups.   This would have
been fixed easily by CHKDSK on a Windows or Windows Server system.
We
never used anything but the builtin Windows Server CHKDSK utility
maintaining thousands of Windows servers. So, yes, I would expect
Disk
Utility to have fixed this, or given some sort of better error
message
as to what the problem was that it could not fix.  Incidentally, I
did
have to use DiskWarrior's Directory rebuild feature.
So you're basing your conclusion that CHKDSK is better than Disk
Utility
on the fact that on a single occasion Disk Utility couldn't fix a
problem.
Nope.  3 years of experience, with multiple occurrences.  Nice try.

You regularly have file system corruption so bad your computer doesn't
boot, and Disk Utility can't fix it?

Only you, Steve. Only you.

Who said anything about not being able to boot?

Who said I "regularly" had such occurrences.

Multiple occurrences in three years seems pretty regular, given that
I've seen serious file system corruption about... once since OS X
shipped.

Don't put words in my mouth.

While you are at it, go to the Apple Discussion Forums and reply to
everyone who posts real world issues with "Only you, [Poster's Name]..
Only you."

I might, if I ever encountered a poster there who had more issues with
his Mac every month that I've had with various Macs in my entire life..

But you might be one of the lucky ones.  Macs have a poor reputation when it
comes to reliability today.

Of course, pretty much every consumer survey says differently.
