[Ti] Disk Utility NOT repairing disk??????? (OT)

I said:

And this turned out to be not so useful information as Disk Manager Tool
indeed consults the receipts folder of the volume whose permissions are
being repaired.
This does not mean, however, that it's not OK to repair permissions while
booted from the drive being repaired. Usually this works out fine.
Note that Apple recommends booting from CD/DVD when you want to verify or
repair the file system or other volume data (I think this necessity
doesn't extend to permissions):
