Well, hold on.  Yes, you can't tell it to just not check checksums.

But keep reading.  It sounds like he thinks that *any* reads to the file
will error once any checksum has failed.  Surely that's not true, you
can do use like dd conv=noerror and read all the extents of the file
whose checksums are still valid.
