Yes, we provide the strongest level of ACID semantics. Although proving things about large computer programs is pretty hard, we have spent much of the past three years building testing and validations systems to ensure this is true. We run tens-of-thousands of nightly simulations to check system correctness and properties in the face of machine failures, partitions, etc. We also run long-running tests on real-world clusters using programmable network and power switches to simulate these same cases in the real world.
So, we've convinced ourselves. What would you like to see on the site to help provide the kind of incredible evidence you're looking for?

This very badly needs proof that it is, in fact, ACID compliant. Incredible claims require incredible evidence.
