A guarded switch, no less.
But personally I'm trying to be more generous about this sort of thing: it is very very difficult to explain subtle bugs like this to non-technical people. If you don't give them a story for how it can actually happen, they tend to just assume it's not real. But then when you tell a nice story, all us dry aged curmudgeons tut tut about how irreverent and over the top it is :)
Finding the middle ground between a dry technical analysis and dramatization can be really hard when your audience is the entire internet.
