    Jason, I am using real life situations to demonstrate my point.  You are
    perfectly welcome to use your own REAL-LIFE situations to demonstrate 
    yours.  It is the real-life application that matters, not a worst-case
    nightmare theory.  No engineer designs systems based on nightmare 
    theories.
