Lazy, yes, you can recover bits, but unless you have trade secrets to protect I don’t think I would worry about it. Anyone who wants your data that bad could find much easier ways to get it!! I have actually heard that even a disk wiped to DOD standards can still be recovered. Having sold software to the DOD I can tell you they are so paranoid that they won’t return any media, they just destroy it themselves.
