"There is a discussion at osnews.com about a simple question: "Should ZFS Have a fsck Tool?". The answer is simple: No. I could stop now, as this answer is pretty obvious when you work a while with ZFS, but i want to explain my position. And i want to ask a different question at the end."

Yeah. The problem/blessing with ZFS is that it detects many more errors than other filesystems, as it is end-to-end. ZFS being more sensitive than other filesystems, is a good thing. Which filesystem could have caught this?

And the problem was not ZFS fault. Instead, ZFS is the messenger. Dont shoot the messenger?
