If the system makes it incredibly easy, it's a design flaw. If your car
manufacturer provides *brakes*, but puts them somewhere inaccessible, where
you can't get to them quickly in an emergency, it's a design flaw. Yes, this
is ridiculous, but it was your example. Not mine.

Martin's concern is certainly valid, but it may be something that should be
dealt with at the application level and not by the system itself.
