But I’ll check you follow your lines too ! Take care of your nut, you’ve already cut one ;).

Here follows my confession.

“You cannot prove it because you can always sneak out the box”
Yes, proofs are always valid within a restrictive model and you cannot prove that your model match reality. But keep in mind that being secure within a model is better than being insecure.

“You cannot do it there is too much work to do”
I known that x86 semantics is just a pain the ***, but it may worth it.

“This is smart, but nobody will buy it”
Why should you always do things for money ? Why research should be useful ? You have to gamble in order to find good solutions.
