No, Gil, I've never seen somebody die from being pointed at. I'd like to
read the documented cases you've referred to. I don't mean that as some
sideways dig; I mean it as a request for a reference.

The concept I grasp. That there is documentation seems too good an
opportunity to learn about this in detail to pass up. Please do share
the references you mentioned.
