Ok, so what if Howard says: If you construct it this way, it's a run  
time error to use it the that way.  Is that statement in any way more  
or less correct?

I fear we're arguing about the number of angles that can dance on the  
head of a pin.  We need use cases in this area and we have none (so  
far).
