Corporations and governments have shown remarkable fickleness when it comes to definitions of words like "reasonable" or "malicious". Everyone thinks they themselves are reasonable.

If the government comes knocking with a secret subpoena, what is "reasonable"? If someone malicious breaks in to your system, does it matter that this person isn't an employee?

For "95% of corporate applications", even plain email is good enough.
