Notice I said gradually degrading. SMART won't help in the event of a catastrophic mechanical failure, which is what most of the unanticipated failures in the Google study probably were. Fsck doesn't help in that case either though. It's only the kinds of failures that cause a slow accumulation of bad sectors that fsck would matter for, and those are the kinds of failures that SMART is piratically guaranteed to catch.
