1) many people (most!) are not on V5R2.
2) many vendors (most!) ship products that
are created on earlier releases with no observability.
3) how do we know that the translation template has
not been monkeyed with? I know your answer
will be that that is impossible, but that was the
answer to many of the earlier problems too:
Can passwords be cracked? Impossible!
Can pointers be counterfeited? Impossible!
Can program validation value be faked? Impossible,
etc.

But, as Yogi Bear said: "this time for sure!"
