And we're back to physically protecting the computer. You keep trying
to circumvent that fact but keep missing.

Because of silly extremities in suppositions which were rebutted by just
as equally silly extremity. Your point was silly which became evident
when I became just as extreme. You don't protect against extremes as
the cost is far too high. You protect against expected hazards. You
see a expansive net of nuke-carrying satellites yet poised in space, all
pointing outward, to ward off the next big rock that will hit our
planet? But you do see door locks on computer rooms, houses, stores,
cars, and, yes, even on computer cases.
