Effectively this argument is "UUNET are way to big for the market to ever
let this happen". Almost certainly true - but this is a real danger sign.
It is that sort of situation that actually begs for a crash (as much as
anything does) and the more "it just can't happen" it is then the bigger
the crash will be. Holds a lot in common with how the dynamics of stock
market crashes.

Besides - if it won't happen to UUNET it may still happen to someone
smaller but still big enough to be of concern ...
