Aye sorry. I did not thought it was harsh.

By using fips prior to fdisk you can split a partition in 2 parts: 1 containing data and 1 "empty" (my english is not perfect, but I think you understand what I mean).
Then you can fdisk the "empty" part (without any of your data).
So you do not ruin data THAT WAY ! So you can repartition WITHOUT destroying/loosing data.
(as long as you have less than 4 partitions: but he had 3).

>tthat you were incorrect about the subject of low level formatting, but also in fueling the debate. *shrug*

Yes, sure: but I never used this term: low level format...
