I wouldn't call Eos ignorant; he's a brilliant computer scientist, and I'm just a competent technology enthusiast with powerful hacker friends who, after seeing what they can do, respects the power of these knowledgeable and capable people. I also consider myself a globally-aware human being, and through such a perspective demonstrate a potent humility to the potential of possibility. Nothing is safe in this world, if you choose to think of humanity shrouded in such darkness, yet also nothing is destined towards chaos, if you choose to believe in such light. In the end, closing the mind to the capacity, the existence of anything proves the most detrimental, folly act we can commit.
With that I echo my previous comments: I expect the account to be hacked, but will not be surprised if it's not. Paul himself created an elaborate device to add to the security of the PIC, and the fact that such a construct exists without any knowledge towards the specifics adds another element of complexity to the puzzle. My only comment, thus, finds its foundation in my musings above: voting "Yes" in this poll is the only reasonable act of pragmatism, as it shows an understanding and acceptance of the possibile. Voting "No," and staunchly declaring with absolute certainty the account will not be hacked is therefore close-minded, and I would invite those believing in such truths to question their convictions and determine whether they're based on logical fact - or a refusal, ground in the hope of progress, to believe in the uncertain.
