Ah. I guess if you interpret the OP's statement that the problem doesn't apply "when it really counted" as meaning "anytime this applies, it doesn't really count" that makes sense as a criticism.

I was going more by the examples which ran neatly to 'only effective under high-pressure conditions', which is exactly what Emergencies Only does.
