This is not correct.

There are some ways in which bad RAM can damage files that are written or updated, or even corrupt a filesystem as described above.

The larger the percentage of RAM that is bad, and the more you write to the disk while you have bad RAM, the higher the likelihood that some file(s) will eventually be corrupted.
