That would be completely true if "sync" would hold what the name promises. VFAT does not (completely) implement "sync". Just try it: copy a big file onto a VFAT stick mounted with "sync" and immediately remove it. The file will be truncated. Also, if you immediately execute "sync" after copying something, a big bunch of data will still be written onto the stick.
