A Conversation for 3.5 Inch Floppy Disk

If you are ever need to use a 3,5" floppy disk to store IMPORTANT data, be sure NOT to treat it as if it was important or breakable. Be sure to throw it, or do whatever seems likely to damage it. Your data will last longer!
Or did anybody experience something different? I just remember that the disks I handled with care lost their data. I tossed the ones with unimprtant data around, and they never lost any data.
Maybe it's the data itself, that looses itself....

Important data will (according to Murphy's Law and the Universal Truth) destroy itself milliseconds before it is loaded, whereas
unimportant data will remain forever. Therefore the only way to save important data is to make the data believe it's unimportant

I'd really like to know how you get the data to think it's unimportant. Do you have secret telepathic powers?
