I noticed that what I described looks like a catch-22 {1] after 
sending my previous reply.

I did not find anything in the arguments which you sent which were 
not reasonable.  I would factor in the human element as that's 
generally where a mechanism which looks good fails to deliver the 
desired results.

The "no response" could turn into a problem.  It's not possible to do 
anything about that because of the catch-22.
