Damn, they think that the physical is more important than the data in business today? The hardware is the cheap and easy part to deal with.

No, they said the policy defined the coverage as applying to physical loss only.

There was no assertion of value or importance.

You missed the point of what they said. They were blaming the customer for covering physical items. The physical items are cheap and replaceable.

This person is agreeing with the ruling.

Okay, I see what you’re saying. I had assumed that the policy holder assumed their data was covered by their property policy, but I guess that isn’t necessarily true.

To the point you clarified, it would seem irrational to prioritize insuring hardware over data.

Thanks for the clarification.

It’s so simple.

Unless they’re using dedicated storage arrays.

So I'm rappelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I realize "Holy shit, Hansel, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days, and couldn't some of this maybe be in your head?"
