Quite a nice cautionary regarding data truncation. I've seen enough data loss due to the data items being placed in unfavourable environments, even when such an issue may not be immediately obvious. Ultimately, it usually happens to all of us at least once, though that doesn't mean we shouldn't avoid it at all costs. Worst case scenario, hope it wasn't the only copy of the data.
