.. or, pushing it a bit further, I could ask/configure my OP to  
always issue "phishable=no" for me, because I am a power user, always  
watch the address bar, check certificates, make sure my machine is  
not compromised, etc. That's also fine, as long as the OP represents  
the user's interests.
