This is pointless. A user with an editor or a command prompt will
always be able to screw up an automated system. I won't even
try designing one that cannot be screwed up. No operating system
out there has anything close to that.

So arguments based upon the fact that that a determined sysadmin
can screw up the automation process are unresolvable.
