No, not as plain text. As the document is for real, keeping the formatting. It's not just saving the document, it's actually backing it up so you can continue the work since the last back up. Saving a corrupted copy is not backing up your work.

But I doubt he made that mistake ever again. He told me about this twenty years after it happened and he was still a prolific producer.

Well, it still doesn't say anything other than he was an idiot not to back up his work. And we already knew that backing up one's work is the way to protect oneself from mistakes and loss of work.
