I agreed to soften it because you had reasonable concerns and it was
still strong enough for my tests.  But we hardly "attempted" this
version.  Should this turn out to be too weak for other users in
practice we have to reconsider the stronger approach and actually put
your theory to the test and see if it holds up in practice.  There is
no knowledge to record at this point, we just have speculation and no
real need to push the envelope right now.
