If one failure exists (POF) but no other defects, the average will be 0.0000...1, however the disk is irremediably lost, at least the part containing the error. It's no relevant at all, quite the opposite, it may give one the impression that the disk is ok. It's the distribution of the errors that is more important than the average.
