And therein lies the disconnect!  

I think it'd be extremely naive to think that operators don't know, or care 
about, or evaluate the risks of the systems that enable their operations.  If 
this weren't the case, many of those folks that have expressed concern here 
would not do so.

Given that our services and businesses rely on these systems with varying 
levels of buffers, I assure you that _many [most] operators DO carefully 
evaluate the risks and consult their legal departments.  This isn't simply a 
science project.

I think that's exactly what we want.  That's the purpose of engineering and 
risk management, and why operators that operate commercial networks, care a 
whole lot when you introduce a new dependency.
