The real, right solution is not to do that
convoluted dance.  Not by default, anyway.

The automatic refrain will be "that ship has
sailed", alas.  Same old song.

But that ship/mistake could be recalled.

A car company recalls vehicles that were
poorly designed and thus create problems.

We should be brave and honest enough to
recognize the damage we're causing and
make amends.
