What you say is true, but then again, it's true of other things too.
We're running in a completely virtual environment. Our "real" disk
storage is EBS. Somewhere out on the network there's something which
pretends to be a disk. Does "written" really mean "the bits have been
committed to a piece of physical spinning iron oxide"? I have no clue.
But, this conversation is getting very far away from Python.
