Vivek,

miwi@ has been spanked quite a bit (both in Email and on IRC) about
this mistake.  His track record is amazingly clean, so it's important
to remember that we're all human and that mistakes do get made.
He's feeling pretty bad, so we need not rub his face in it any more.

All of your points are completely valid (I'll be surprised if
someone argues otherwise), but that said, don't be too hard on
him.  :-)
