Excuses, excuses. You're demonstrating my point
by talking about unrelated issues. It's very simple.
You can accept the facts and be as careful as possible
with script, within the limits of the inconvenience
you're willing to put up with. That's a reasonable
approach. Or you can be lazy and accuse others of
tinfoil hat wearing, and generally avoid actually
looking at the facts of the issue.
