While making a point in the act of flaming, Ehud says:

>        So this hacker, field service engineer, and a Scientific
>        are in a car and coming down a steep hill the breaks appear
>        to fail.  The Hacker (who is driving) pumps the break and
>        downshifts and finally the car comes screeching to a halt
>        JUST at the edge of the precipice with two wheels over the
>        edge.
>
>        The Hacker suggests they fix the breaks.
>        The field service engineer suggests they call in an expert.
>        The Scientific says "Let's start moving and see if the
>        brakes fail the same way again."
