You asked me to validate my "claim", and that's what I did. No need to
go rambling about speeding, smoking pot, or free speech! And
unfortunately, the examples you gave are CLEAR. If the speed limit is
65 MPH and you drive 66 MPH, you are breaking the law, and when you get
caught, it is EXPLAINED to you what you did wrong.
Here, things just disappear. Bits and bytes vanishing. It is a poor
way to "monitor" a group IMO.
