I thought the same, but Josh convinced me.  NOR *should* just work and
never have problems.  Checksums *should* be a wasted effort.  But for
some reason, both the flash vendor and quality assurance messed up and
broken flashes got were soldered into products.  Nasty.

So at this point, checksums are quite nice because they effectively do
the job that quality assurance should have done.
