I can't wait. It's been awhile since I've taken a trip to the woodshed.
In the meantime, you might ponder this thought born of painful experience: In any system that includes human beings, the decision tree is open-ended. This is the "N+1 Corrolary" to Murphy's Law: No matter how many eventualities you (the designer) anticipate and foreclose, the human components will generate at least one more way to break the system. Always.
