You were just thinking constructively.  You look for outcomes that 
benefit people.  That's a good perspective to have.  Most devs do.


Maliciously breaking things requires a different mindset.

So next time I'd better hire one of you guys, looks like. Malice isn't my

imaginative keeping out of trouble than the imaginative folks who are
looking for ways to cause mischief.

Thanks for the examples, Alex and Richard. I did understand the 
principle behind the caution but I couldn't get any of my tests to 
produce bad results. Both your examples do that.
