There are all sorts of theoretical prevention or recovery mechanisms one 
might postulate. The problem is that this is an existing, operational 
environment and one disturbs such on-going efforts at considerable peril.

The bottom line is that this goes beyond the normal working scope of 
those folk and imposing this kind of requirement on them is therefore 
unreasonable, absent someone (else) doing the work to bring the 
requirement down to a level that /is/ reasonable to ask of them.
