Michael,

That's fine as long as it does work. We do lotes of things on an empiric
basis - like eat oysters for example. Most of the time everything is fine.
Then someone gets into a situation where the new unknown law applies
(Murphy's) and bites us on the ass. Problem is a few bitten asses and
everyone is cancelling insurance policies or at least not renewing them.
That to me is the most likely result of pushing the envelope by using the
customer as a crash-test dummy. In medical research we call this "not
sufficiently informing the patient" In law they call it big bucks.

Maybe, just maybe out there are the answers we need. I've been given a
leadt on a navy technical document which may have some of them. More later
when I get a copy.
