Meta: in addition to upvotes and downvotes, we almost need a slop/not-slop slider.

This one barely scrapes by at what feels like 30-40% "slop": "honestly", "the one thing", etc...

...but I did learn something about "Brand" types, and have personally tried to do more of "parse don't validate" in my own code.

Recently I did this similar trick for `exec( ValidExecutable(...) )` [python], where it required tagging/washing through a private function/variable to "get" the private bit.

All the scanners tend to light up when they see "exec" at all (eg: `exec( "pandoc" )` for PDF generation), but I needed to hard code a few "expected" pandoc locations so the imaginary hackers couldn't shadow "pandoc" on a path location they controlled.
