Yes but in this case it's a weak form of security, for a significant efficiency loss. I'm sorry but I don't really believe that most businesses would look at this tradeoff and decide it makes sense.

We're talking about a pricing scheme conceived in a time right around the birth of the assembly line. And right around the stock market crashed.
Everything wasn't about raw profits once upon a time. So a small piece of mind makes sense.
