That's not the issue! I updated thousands of BIOS working in a computer shop and I've never corrupted one.
Nowadays, every motherboard producer implements DualBIOS or something alike to avoid such catastrophic occurrence. Why does not VIA do it?
Moreover the Flash utility is still a beta... that's not serious, come on!

Yeah, that's something very useful when the motherboard doesn't power up...
