That's the implication, that we're never in the absence of space weather, so we're always susceptible to bit-flip corruption, and critical systems must be hardened against it.
I believe the highest regarded theory that explains Toyota's unintended acceleration problem is still bit-flip. That theory was confirmed in laboratories to suggest it's at least possible, and even probable in a few among millions of vehicles.
