Sonny,

I think you are thinking of delete function, as digital debris is very much 
normal when deleting.  Formatting clears the card completely and gets it 
ready for new writes.

Well yes.  but when you overwrite the media  too many times, you run the
risk of leaving digital debris.  I personally would not reformat more than
three times.

I'll probably be proven wrong by someone who can cite technical stuff and
have never had a problem because they are speaking  theoretically.

I only speak from experience.
