I believe you posted a reply while I was still making postscript-editing. A bad habit of mine, I know.

Got it. So with your edit:

> I mean, would you say that dumping a type of toxic waste into a river is an "implementation" problem when there's no law against it?

Yes. This doesn't mean we stop doing anything that produces toxic waste. Cars are also a vector for criminal activity. Like guns and knives and cellphones. We don't get rid of them either. Instead we use regulation and standards to enforce the safety mechanisms and proper ethical behavior.
