Well, I do not understand as well as you do what the issues involved are
here.  Without digging deeper I believe that if things are opaque, we do
not ever need to depend on it.

You believe that my evaluation is wrong, so please explain us with more
detail what is the problem -because from your short message I could not
figure it out myself- and maybe we can investigate the problem that way.
