[...]if you are defragging a desktop and there's a power failure[,]
you may trash either your system or some valuable data.

It's a possibility--but a distant one:
The data is **copied** to the new location first, THEN the FAT is updated.
If something goes screwy before the last step,
the old data remains at its original location
and the old FAT entry still points to it.
