Dick,
If your VP is in IT industry and still says that if disk has not failed in last 3 years so it won't fail in next 3 year either, then he does not deserve to be VP.
One thing to remember is, if there is something which can go wrong, then it will go wrong for certain at point in time. You just have to make people aware of that failure and consequences. If they are willing to take risk associated with it, then there is no problem in having a single instance database either. If unplanned downtime is not acceptable, then business needs to pay for that availability.
