That's a good point and a fairly ingenious logical solution.

Unfortunately, Martin Rock-- like many of us-- does not always act
logically. :-)

Something Jamas once pointed out to me was that Gregory Dingham could
just tell an ATM to give him money-- no need to go the whole big
splashy "supervillain" route.  If Gregory had just taken a moment to
think about the ramnifications of his powers, he would have been-- and
may yet be-- truly something to contend with.  But his emotions, his
personality, his foibles got in the way.  Something similiar could be
said, perhaps, of Martin Rock.
