I think people are mostly amused by your generalization that
"generalizations are always false". At least, I was. I think you
should've topped it off with an "except this one".

It's not easy to write to one block over and over again on dynamically
remapping flash media, but you can force this (fill all blocks except
one and then rewrite it over and over again).
(Not arguing that it is or is not possible to break flash storage by
repeated writing, just pointing out some technicallities)
