This is not an optional requirement.  I'm surprised that no one has
asked for this already.  Phrases like "horrible death" are probably
quite viscerally satisfying but they provide absolutely no information
towards attempting to solve problems.

I'm surprised by how many times I have to repeat this (to me) obvious
fact but then, as I've noticed before, I'm easily surprised.
