Damn editing oversight.  "for *any* of the security" should be "for *almost
any*".  Apparently all of a half dozen people figured it out in the first
12 hours, but their mails announcing the fact got delayed.  The first
real wave of light bulbs wasn't until about 36 hours in though, and most
people didn't understand it till "Microscope and Tweezers" got released.
