I still don't see your point. You have never explained how "reverse
engineering" enters the example at all.

I already asked you once to present an entire example with every step
in you argumentation explained, instead of just presenting one little
extera non-sequitur in each message and expect the readers to fill in
the blanks.

You responded to my request by giving another short sentense that did
not clarify anything, and leaving it to the readers to fill in the
blanks.

I'm about to begin thinking you are a troll.

You seem to be revising your hypothetical example with new previously
undisclosed features each time I ask how you reach your conclusion.
