>From the outside, it is hard to determine much about
anything except behavior, and that is why behavioral
analysis, testing and training works when shaping observable
behaviors. The tough part is getting some control over
the rewards. The response can be measured by the behavior
(ye olde Tit for Tat: don't let tats get bigger than tits)
and by type (be provocable/be forgiving).
1. First, do the legal analysis. Did they do anything
wrong or did they do something "without style"?
2. Pick the response and administer it immediately. Ensure
it is commensurate with the behavior.
3. Be consistent. Make sure the response is predictable.
We whine about how they use their "dominance" but some are all too
happy to see others do similar things ("JavaOne - Bomb Redmond!")
which demonstrates a certain lack of consistency.
In this case, I should think that whoever owns the Kerberos
record of authority can:
1. Document systems with inconsistent behaviors. FAT
tests are important in the commercial world. RFPs cite
ROA Public IDs for just such reasons (one reason that
conflating identity, name and location is a fairly dumb
idea but that is another thread).
2. Insert code that informs users of the presence of
such a system even if only by knowing its vendor.
People and institutions react to WARNING dialogs or
other similarly scary messages from the machine.
As for burning Megginson, any organization as large
as MS could care less. As to burning him and a lot
of his friends, they care just a bit more. Measure
the response. Now, pick any individual in organizations
of that size and you will see a different response at
a different scale. You can work with that too.
