I've always wondered who died or was injured and caused the EPO to
come in to existence. There have been lots of "EPO caused downtime"
stories, but does anyone on the NANOG list even have one single
"Thank God for the EPO" story? I'll feel better about the general
state of the world if I know that the EPO actually has a real valid
use that has been ACTUALLY PROVEN IN PRACTICE rather than just in
someone's mind.

has the irrational fear about the jumper on the "EPO terminal strip"
inside his UPSes coming undone.
