Right. The "Which I" problem.

Indeed.  I suspect the challenge, here, is to decide which *few*, real threats
are serious enough to warrant a solution.

By contrast, an exhaustive exercise to think of every possible scenario that we
might feel like covering seems like a good way to a) reduce the overall
relevance of the work, and b) make the mechanism big enough and complex enough
to be difficult to implement properly.
