I know that the JLS says that variables can have values out of thin air 
but Goetz says on page 36 "When a thread reads a variable without 
synchronization, it may see a stale value, but at least it sees a value 
that was actually placed there by some thread rather then some random 
value.  This safety guarantee is called out-of-thin-air safety."
