flash wipes itself out just sitting without power for as little as a year, and of course is made out of fantastically complex microscopic electronics. A floppy is ridiculously more robust than that, in the same way paper is even more robust than floppy.

It actually takes a very very strong magnet in almost direct contact to alter a floppy.
