That's one way of looking at it, yes. But no, the exact thing you're
describing will never occur for any reason. If you'd like to take a
step back and explain your reasoning, as well as the alternate
solutions you've discarded, then that's fine, but otherwise, with a
firm and resolute 'no, never' to this point, we're at a dead end.

Cheers,
Daniel
