"In many instances, using a MFM (magnetic force microscope) to determine the prior value written to the hard drive was less successful than a simple coin toss."

Surely if the estimate is *less* successful than a coin toss, then just flip the output of the estimation and it will be *more* successful than a coin toss. Binary digits can only have two values!
