Depends on the cost of prevention vs cost of cure...

Cost of prevention goes to infinity as guarantees go to 100%, cost of a cure follows the opposite curve....

You don't do strip searches on every customer to prevent merchandise from being stolen, that may be 99.99999% effective at preventing theft, but it would drive your customers away. Instead you buy insurance, throw in a few cameras, and use RFID tags and alarms.

Likewise, it isn't cost effective to PREVENT hacks, but it is cost effective to cure hacks by adding time delays.

I guess it all goes into the definition of prevent and cure.

I see your point in this...yes the costs of prevention can go up exponentially making it unfeasible but EOS as it is can integrate the necessary modular mechanisms (like time delay) in place to prevent to a great extent mishaps from happening.

Thanks for clarifying it out to me.
