The lie is that there was a flaw in ext4. There is no flaw in ext4 (not when it comes to this, at least) - applications are broken, because they don't do what's required. They are falling short.

Ted put a workaround into ext4 to address the shortcomings of applications.

The evidence is in your manual pages. Just read them.
