Just a note in this debate:

I've used literally HUNDREDS of SS disks as DS disks, both 5.25 and 3.5.
I've done this for years (about 5 years).  I have had exactly 3 disks go bad.
For two of them, they wouldn't format.  For the third (the only bad 3.5),
it went bad after a couple of hours.  I should have known better than to use
it, as it made funny squeaking/squealing noises as it turned.
