I just contend that errors we encounter are so random that superstition takes over and we find ourselves doing unnecessary things. Failed saves happen sometimes. Pick an interval that you can live with losing that much cruise time and save at that interval, only oversaving the third or fourth save back. Then you always have a fallback that you can depend on.
But trying to attribute reasons to the failures is just futile. They happen very very infrequently and tend to be unrepeatable. We just don't know why they happen. Could easily be a Windows problem and not even related to the game itself. Could even be an iteraction between Windows, certain hardware configurations and the game. Who knows?
