When it happens, am I correct in assuming that the pack is toast, and should never be
loaded again?
Carl would be better qualified to answer that one, but from what he has taught me and what
we've seen so far, it depends. If it's a mild crash and just burnished, it might
be OK. A lot of the PARC packs we read had such leftover marks from previous mild
encounters with a head... Some read just fine, most dirtied our heads but were OK at least
for archiving once, a few re-crashed. If there is a gouge and you can see the metal,
forget it.
