Perfection - and other impossibilities
Yes. OK. Before anybody starts the home fires (or any other kind) burning, I agree. Child abuse is a very bad thing. I got that. But...
'Bobby Flaim of the FBI noted that there are "pockets of excellence" within the domain name industry, but that cooperation with law enforcement needs to be 100 per cent if it is to make a difference. ICANN requires registrars to enforce the accuracy of their customers' Whois records, and the leading registrars are often quite strict about complying with this rule. But with almost 1,000 ICANN-accredited registrars, there are many "rogue" companies with fewer scruples.'
If I may...
'Barney Rubble of the <insert law enforcement agency here> noted that there are "pockets of excellence" within the <retail gun industry>, but that cooperation with law enforcement needs to be 100 per cent if it is to make a difference. <The government> requires <gun sellers> to enforce the accuracy of their customers' <identity> records, and the leading <gun sellers> are often quite strict about complying with this rule. But with almost <insert big number here> <government> accredited <gun sellers>, there are many "rogue" companies with fewer scruples.'
'Barney Rubble of the <insert law enforcement agency here> noted that there are "pockets of excellence" within the <pharmaceutical industry>, but that cooperation with law enforcement needs to be 100 per cent if it is to make a difference. <The government> requires <pharmaceutical suppliers> to enforce the accuracy of their customers' <identity> records, and the leading <pharmaceutiucal suppliers> are often quite strict about complying with this rule. But with almost <insert big number here> <government> accredited <pharmaceutiucal suppliers>, there are many "rogue" companies with fewer scruples.'
''Barney Rubble of the <insert law enforcement agency here> noted that there are "pockets of excellence" within the <pawnbroking industry>, but that cooperation with law enforcement needs to be 100 per cent if it is to make a difference. <The government> requires <pawnbrokers> to enforce the accuracy of their customers' <identity> records and the provenance of items they buy, and the leading <pawnbrokers> are often quite strict about complying with this rule. But with almost <insert big number here> <government> accredited <pawnbrokers>, there are many "rogue" companies with fewer scruples.'
Sigh. I could go on. But I won't. Save, perhaps, to add:
Frederica Flintstone of the <general public> noted that there are "pockets of excellence" within the <law enforcement industry>, but that <ethical and moral standards of those within it> needs to be 100 per cent if it is to make a difference. <general public> requires <law enforcement> to be absolutely perfect and all those working in it to be saints in training without exception>, and <in many cases law enforcement tries to live up to these standards>. But with almost <insert big number here> <authorised law officers>, there are some "rogue" <officers> with fewer scruples.'
Sigh. My dear Mr Rubble. My dear Ms Flintstone. My dear Mr Flaim. There is no such thing as 100% compliance. Indeed, the whole nature of law enforcement is largely to deal with non-compliance. Yes, it's a real shame people do bad things. But don't try to propose a system that '100%' eliminates a bad anything at any point in the system. 'Cos you're pre-sedigning failure into your solution.
OK. I'll shut up now...
