And I wasn't interpreting it in the "worst of light". I was
interpreting it in the light of simple security.
What he's proposing is false security - which is worse than no security
at all. At least with the latter you know you have potential
vulnerabilities.
And no, this isn't great security - but what he's proposing will NOT
stop auto-submission by any means.
