In real life yes, but the point of this little exercise is really to
figure out the user interface issues of doing potentially blocking data
validation while preserving the good Palm user experience.

So to more tightly focus the scenario, let's say I've just learned the
conduit and back end server is written in Microsoft Visual COBOL by
programmers in our Belgrade office, but their source code was just
accidentally deleted by a laser guided bomb.  So I'll say the server
can't be fixed and all data validation must happen on the organizer.
