Exactly.  I remember once quite a while ago that someone complained that their
program's rating tanked due to some individual doing stuff like this.  I replied
that they should be thanking that individual for identifying a serious problem
with their program rather than castigating them.

The best way to toughen your program up is to feed it to the wolves!
