One of Hobbit's main points was that there are no bad
characters; only characters not in the set of good characters. You
should always check to see if the character is one that you expect,
not one you think is bad. People forget about bad characters, but
rarely include characters they can't handle in the set that they can.
Also, please remember that best-of-security should be limited
discussion.
