i should turn in my keyboard and stop writing, maybe. how can i make 
clear that reflection is an adequate motive for an attacker, and that 
only attenuation, at both the packet level and the octet level, will 
discourage such attackers? where "discourage" means making them find 
other non-attenuating reflectors.
