The reason that theory apparently is contradicted by the "facts" is that the
design of a floppy disk drive includes lots of slop for the distortions in
the media caused by temperature and humidity.  If you are doing interchange
with other systems in the same area as the original system, you eliminate
most of the slop causes.
