That's true. The best approach to that is to control the coding group as
rigidly as possible, and that includes making them anonymous to all but one
or two of the other group.

Then why waste bandwidth here? It can be done, but requires a strong sense
of dedication, and even stronger sense of ethics on the part of the coders,
if not the disassemblers.

False again. Phoenix had experienced coders, very experienced coders -- none
of whom had touched a PC.
