nRF52532 max number of write times in one block

Primarily addressed Torbjørn Øvrebekk, Nordic.

Refer document  nRF52832 Product Specification v1.4

I read " The same block in the Flash can only be written nWRITE number of times before an erase must be performed " where nWRITE is 181 and block is 512 bytes.

I did perform 4096 number of write zero operations bit by bit with successfully read back same data one by one, and all bits was successfully zeros after restart. I could repeat this process. Was I just "lucky" ?

Do I MUST erase after 181 writing, it mean I cannot even perform two write operations for all the 32-bits in one block without erase ?

    Is my conclusion correct. If I write zero bits or other data in any order more than 181 times it is expected to typical be read back correctly, but not any guarantee ?

    Of cause always consider only writing zero-bits. 

    A following question is: If I write more than 181 times and for each write operation read back the value to confirm the read back is correct, is it then guarantee that the writing did work without any future corruption ?
