I still think that the store is BS because the script could not be ran

Other things in the store don't make sense. It's either BS or the

Do you want to hang your security on "SHOULD"?
I think the point is that there are ways that mainframes can have a
denial of service performed against them without attacking the
mainframe itself.
A well placed bullet diesel tanks and transformers will cripple a
bunch of mainframes without touching the mainframe nor their data
simply by rendering them inoperable without a working generator or
utility power.
