You've never had to handle a support call that involved a customer that was
clever enough to fuck around with the code, have you?  That's a tech support
nightmare waiting to happen, because it's guaranteed to be a major sinkhole
of resources figuring out if the customer has hit an obscure bug in your code,
or if they simply dorked it up.
