hence the "per se," meaining in and of itself.  some cases of pouring
cement into a router (see london tube) are security issues, some are
not.

how would you make that more clear?

i don't think that is entirely true.  they are announcements of P by A
to B which are not agreed by all parties concerned (including A, B,
neighbors of A and B, the originator of P, ...).  the problem lies in
detecting them, especially from a distance.

i agree.  and i doubt we want "waiting for grow" in a document which is
not ephemeral.
