Why? You can easily look and see that it's broken. Examples will merely
be dismissed as one-off cases that can be worked around, or as relying
upon a string of coincidences that will "obviously" never really
happen, right up until they do, at which point they'll be dismissed
with a WORKSFORME. What you have is a proof that it's broken, which is
far better than an example.
