It may depend on how we define "reliably".
Remember when Steve Gibson's Spinrite (not the current edition, now)
would, by default return to use tracks that were on the manufacturer's bad
track list, if they passed Spinrite's "tests".
He wasn't the only one to try that nonsense. I recall a fellow
proudly proclaiming that he didn't bother with the flaw map printed
on each drive as "most of those flaws are fake anyway".
Cheers,
Chuck
