Of course we can't catch every transgression.  That's part of the whole
point.  That's why I put in a time limit, because if the transgression is
not caught there is no penalty.  We have the precedent "something which is
indistinguishable from legal is legal" so any transgression not reported
to the Administrator in time is entirely legal and unpunished.

Ok I believe there are some unclear things in the way I have written my
proposal that are making people think it is a lot nastier than it is.  So
I will revise it.  And I will make the punishment a bit less harsh and the
range it applies to a bit narrower.
