So was it a cart slap? No. Was the device and or cart faulty? No. Was the constructions nearby the cause? No.
We only know that something flipped the bit. So why not spice this freak accident up by saying that cosmic rays were the culprit?
The device was faulty though.

Because assuming that is a way bigger assumption than something like "faulty hardware", especially since this guy has stories about other things that we know are faulty hardware.
I also bought into the bit flip theory but it was confirmed that the hardware was somewhat faulty which is an infinitely more likely cause than cosmic rays. There's also the fact that there aren't any bits that could be flipped which would perfectly reproduce the glitch.
