Status: OUT
The gap between expected and actual system correctness widens under failure: distributed protocols require storage-layer guarantees (crash-safe compaction, atomic writes, complete CRC coverage) that no implementation provides, and the resulting divergence accumulates without bound because anti-entropy can detect but not fully reconcile the inconsistencies.
Unmet storage guarantees produce divergence that distributed compensating mechanisms cannot fully resolve
