I can see that argument, but I can also see an argument that stale formerly
correct data is not as big a deal as unauthorized modification to bad data.
Does stale data from 1 RSO have a 'materially adverse effect' on the RSS?

At any rate, this is exactly why the work party is trying very hard not to
get into the details of every possible scenario and depends on the RSO(s) to
make the call.
