Regularly, I listen to the podcast ATP. One of the hosts mentioned he ran Disk Utility on his wife's MacBook Pro, and found errors. Trying to repair them, the disk became unreadable. He asked people to fill in a survey on Twitter:

The survey is no longer available, but if I remember correctly, there were two questions:
1) Please run Disk Utility and verify your drive(s); did it find errors?
2) If you told it to fix these errors, did it work?
In the latest episode of the podcast, they reported that 45!! percent found that Disk Utility reported errors. It sounds weird and hard to believe, but I'm guessing that these errors aren't really that big a deal, if Apple continues using the HFS+ filesystem.
Just something I found interesting.
