We have told Walter that so many times before, I've lost count

That statement is wrong for two reasons:
1) there is no risk, it has happened, and
2) it applies to everyone, not just the rookies. Atila, who has
done more production use of dip1000 than anyone else I know, was
recently (for some value of recently) surprised at the way it
worked in some way (that I can't be bothered to cite at the
moment, jet lag).
