List,

Corruption comes in a variety of forms. A few versions back, some people on
this list reported situations where RMAN didn't find all forms of
corruption. They received some corruption errors even though they had been
relying on RMAN to discover corruption. In the past for small databases I've
regularly done a full export to /dev/null.
  Fortunately with modern hardware and modern Oracle versions corruption
seems to occur less frequently.
