I don't remember reading that.  It sounds reasonable, or at least of
interest for experimentation.  Given that I can't find the mail in
which you floated this, how did you propose that 'violation' be
evaluated?  Rate of convergence?

I don't remember (I know there seems to be a trend in my lack of
memory) exactly what prompted me to add that to my signature, but
it has served me well. :)
