Axil, Interesting comment.
Maybe it's worth noting that the Zeno-effect (decay deceleration) and the anti-Zeno effect (decay acceleration) can coexist and "see-saw" in some some systems. See: "Observation of the Quantum Zeno and Anti-Zeno effects in an unstable system" http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0104035 "Quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects in an Unstable System with Two Bound State" http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0502075 Reifenschweiler's results are a real puzzle.
