It's not up to data or metadata to ensure consistency and avoid corruption by themselves.
If that data's backend storage is a database, it's up to database.
If it's a filesystem, it's up to that filesystem.
Hence, on UNIX, stuff you're talking about depends on filesystem implementation. /etc is less "safer" than Windows Registry if it lies on ext2, and far more "safer" than it if it lies on properly configured ZFS.
Other than that, your post stands correctly.

Submission + - Man arrested, strip-searched after photographing NYPD wins $125,000 (arstechnica.com)
mpicpp writes: Settlement comes weeks after a bystander's video captured NYPD chokehold arrest.
A New York man who claimed police arrested and strip-searched him after he photographed a stop-and-frisk of three African-American youths has settled his civil rights suit with the New York Police Department for $125,000.
The settlement, first reported Monday by the Daily News, comes weeks after the NYPD reminded its officers that it was legal to peacefully record police activity. That department-wide memo followed the videotaped NYPD arrest of a man who died after being subdued by a chokehold last month.
The NYPD settled with a man named Dick George, who alleged that while he was sitting in his parked car in Flatbush in 2012, he saw two NYPD officers get out of an unmarked car and perform what is known as a stop-and-frisk of three youths. George said he captured the search on his mobile phone. He claimed he went up to the youths and told them next time that happens to make sure they get the officers' badge numbers.
He said the two officers overheard his comments, followed him briefly in his vehicle and then arrested him for disorderly conduct—and strip-searched him at the station.
After being held for about an hour, he was released. He said he injured a knee during his arrest, and the cops erased his photographs from his mobile phone.
