Explain to me when IBM have washed their hands of the situation; that is 
they deem the file system unrecoverable and will take no further action 
to help the customer, how under these circumstances it is possible for 
it to get any worse attempting to recover the situation yourself?

The answer is you can't so and are talking complete codswallop.

In general you are right, in this situation you are utterly and totally 
wrong.
