I remember talking to, 40 years ago, one of the leading people in the government who was involved in arms control, pressing for arms control measures, détente, and so on. He's very high up, and we were talking about whether arms control could succeed.

Some other entity will always find a way to challenge your fidelity position or your convenience position.
