Sorry, I wasn't clear.  I mean't "it won't ever work"
as in: it won't provide anything thing useful toward it's
intended purpose.

There's a lot of space between "very bad idea" and
"not the best way to protect things".

I'm looking forward to that reading list of peer reviewed
engineering textbooks.. maybe I can keep an eye out for
them at some of the used bookstores around here.
