Yes, a surprising number of people are. There must be rent in the 
universe because
it's been odd how strangely aligned my thinking has been with Dave's, 
even as I
struggle to come up with the right way to describe this. I'm hopeful 
about the formulation
of a signer's expectation of verification success rather than "I sign 
everything" finesses this.
