You are showing your age.

I once destroyed the filesystem of the department's production 11/70 when I was building disk spanning for Unix V7 at BTL. Neither the department head nor my colleagues were happy with me. After some discussion, instead of firing me, he bought me my own little PDP 11/23 (I think they had been available for a month or so) so I could break things in peace. We both got what we wanted.

Moving on topic: I like your analogy. I also like kokoshmusun's final paragraph, where he states both understanding and a wish.
