I think Sam has been around long enough to understand the caveats to traversing the control blocks without serializing. I'm sure there are some monitoring the list that don't understand, so the discussion is good. For the general use case, it's "good enough" as long as you understand the caveat and are willing to live with it.
One of the most popular and widely used freeware tools on this platform - ShowMVS (ShowzOS), has the same caveat with many of the displays the program provides. But most of us use it or have used it anyway and it still is a valuable tool.
