It's like auto insurance... most of the time you don't need it.. maybe never
need it. But when you do, it's nice to have it. If all goes well... the stuff
that's being set up isn't going to be needed or even used. Everything can just
keep on flowing like it did. But if the liquid start flowing towards the hard
drive, we've got the tools we need to protect it.
