You wouldn't if you kept the phone backed up. Imagine if Google said "Sorry, all your data is gone because one of our hard drives went".
If everything is backed up, do a factory reset, get into the phone and restore everything.
You can't keep Samsung from sending out defective updates, but you can keep from losing important data.
