Yes, exactly. Nobody is arguing *for* data loss, clearly data loss 
should be avoided (but using another, more intelligent method).
I would also like to point you to the follow repro steps:

1. surf to cnn.com
2. surf to google.com
3. enter search query "hello"
4. press the BACK button in the browser
5. press the FORWARD button in the browser

Voilá your search query is still there intact: no data loss! Maybe this 
was a big problem in previous versions of Firefox but right now, the 
data loss argument is running very short.
