I'll concede that it doesn't ALWAYS happen this way, but, when it
does, your LIFE is on the line... 

Why not just do things ONE SIMPLE way, period.  Tell me WHY you don't
want to do things to cover the LARGEST POSSIBLE SET OF OUTCOMES, ones
that DO occur?

People do things in life VERY convoluted, talk about them, brag about
them, say how they work until one day, something happens that they
couldn't deal with.  You see this with MANY types of activities.  This
is no exception.

Time to invoke rule #1 and be done with it.
