Actually I've said that anyone trying to do this is failing to
understand, or even define, the problem they're prematurely throwing
half-baked solutions at.

I believe those of you who are trying to defend the OP's scheme are also
failing to understand and even define the actual problem at hand.

In fact nobody has come up with a solid real-world scenario where there
isn't a much simpler and more obvious solution available, one that can
only be seen by stepping back and looking at the actual requirements
from a higher level.
