It does, of course, account for SIAI continuing to attempt to secure the stable doors after the horse has been dancing around in a field for several months taunting them with "COME ON IF YOU THINK YOU'RE HARD ENOUGH."

(I upvoted XiXiDu's comment here because he did actually supply a substantive response in PM, well deserving of a vote, and I felt this should be encouraged by reward.)
