The number of lines of attack are strictly limited. The problem is simplified. This is a key concept to computer security and program testing as well, as I expect everyone here knows. Limited, well defined inputs and outputs, and modularity. I did not mean there are only 4 ways to fake this experiment! I did not mean that every method of attack (introducing fake data) corresponds exactly to a potential error, although most of them are congruent. - Jed
