Aw now, don't get anal. ;->
Besides, that's all subjective.
E.g., even a "Logical Partition" isn't a partition. It's a
"partition in a partition" since the legacy PC BIOS/DOS disk
label can only have 4 partitions.
That's why I like to use the UNIX terminology of disk labels
and disk slices. Removes the whole legacy PC BIOS/DOS
non-sense, even making it easier to explain NT5+ (2000+)
Logical Disk Manager (LDM) as well.

Exactomundo. Journaling filesystems are not the savior of
disk corruption, only the reducer of boot times -- unless you
have something like full data journaling with a NVRAM.
