A question about name check

I'm reading Michael Aytes' inter-office memo made in December 2006:

And I'm very surprised to see the following Q&A (the last paragraph of the memo)

Q: A case has been listed as PENDING for several months; should I resubmit it?

A: No. Although some cases seem to take an inordinate amount of time to move from a PENDING response to a final response, submitting a second check will actually delay clearance. Check with your supervisor to determine if the case warrants expeditious processing.

So hypothetically, if a case get lost during the journey from CIS to FBI, there is no way of detecting it. (Just like sending a first class mail, since there is no acknowledgement from the other end). I wonder if that's why some NC takes ridiculously long time.
