I think that you missed the bit "if it was my FS" that David wrote.  As
far as I know, Hans Reiser defines the Reiser philosophy.

I use Reiser3 and Reiser4 on all my systems and fsck has always worked
even if it has been much slower than I would like.  The only problems
I've experienced have been on the same level as when an ext2/3
filesystem fsck dumps several directories of unlabeled files into lost
+found.
