Hi Pavel,

yes, like someone, somewhere will get data corruption in a TCP
connection because the checksum is quite weak and networking hardware
ain't perfect. 

Once the probabilties become small enough then it is normal to accept
imperfection in operating systems. If I could make it perfect I would,
but I haven't thought of a way to do that while being absolutely sure
of maintaining the full strength of the legal defence.

If you find a way to actually produce this problem in a way that is
realistic for Linux users then let me know. Otherwise I think it is
the best option we have, imperfect though it is. 

Cheers, Tridge
