Where the analogy breaks down is, the SR decker is presumably not using the
same "account" when he logs in each time. How's the system to know that Decker
Bob, coming in for a second try, is any different from legit user Steve,
coming in to check his e-mail?
Or, for a more symmetrical example, that Decker Bob, coming in for try #2, is
any different from Decker Cindy, coming in for the first time that day?
See, the problem with an individual tally is that you can just sign off and
then back on again; also, you can "tag-team" a datarun and take turns doing
things, "spreading out" the tally. (Of course, it stands to reason that you
SHOULD be able to benefit from having buds)
