And analog tape is 100% accurate? Dream on. Two inch tape at 30 IPS compresses like mad. We are just used to it, and think it is right.
If you had said "if you record it, you lose something" I would have agreed. Although good engineers can come close.
There is nothing wrong with digital recording. There is a lot wrong with 16 bit 44.1 kHz sampling. And too many "engineers" further screw things up with bad algorthims, reverb and other distortion.
Long ago the definition of a secure computer was one in a SCIF (Secure Compartmentalized Information Facility) (what the government does when they don't want
bad guys to listen (see Tempest), turned off, surrounded by armed Marines.
Anything else is on a gray scale of less security.
The conventional wisdom was (1) for Windows and (2) when memory was a lot more expensive.
In general, you never want to use virtual memory. You absolutely never want to need it.
This has been true since the days that swapping was done to fixed head drums. You do not want to rely upon it while you are doing anything important.
Get enough real memory, and set the virtual memory to whatever makes sense for your usage pattern.
