Actually, Randy, engineering with the upper bound is pretty typical. The
counter tends to be viewed as quite amateurish. Understanding failures and
failings is part of responsible engineering. In fact, codifying a system's
design after building an implementation, and then retrofitting requirements to
that design so that we can _then_ back into a threat model that befits a
system's capabilities is typically frowned upon by engineers.
