More like this: "Doctor, doctor, when I pump my arm, turn my head like this, and say the words 'klaatu barada nikto' I pass out on the floor!" This isn't pain, it's a major malfunction. Any reasonable doctor would immediately get this person some medical care. Likewise, this NSKeyedArchiver behavior is a serious bug. You seem to be mixing up the difficulty in provoking it with mildness in effect. It may only happen in rare circumstances, but when it does happen, what happens is very bad behavior.
