Actually, with the default parameters, 4 out of 10 can fail while
guaranteeing to preserve the data. shares.happy - shares.needed = 4.

(The circles could be reinterpreted as shares rather than servers, but
that's not particularly intuitive.)

I really think that this matters and that we should not be claiming
that (shares.total-shares.needed) servers can fail. I've been trying
to fix anywhere that this mistake is made in the docs.
