i guess i don't understand your comments. you have argued for relaxation
of vigilance in the practice of uRPF, on the basis of high cost and assymetric
benefit. you have attempted to justify your employer's lack of effort in
this area on the basis that the benefit is not only assymetric but also
negligible.
this sure sounds like a copout. did you actually do something good but you
aren't allowed to say so in public?
