With the current spec, I'd say that for values of t and x that have
been mentioned so far, maybe what happens at t+2*(x-t) is reasonable
to think about, but we can, and according to our charter, should,
entirely ignore what might or might not happen at t+100*(x-t).
Entirely agree, and also agree that there's no way we're going to define
algorithms or bright line rules for this.
PS: Sorry for jumping in on this one, but the topic is an enormous
rathole.
No kidding. So I hope we can ditch the rathole part and concentrate on
the large useful parts we understand.
