I'm not convinced those problems exist, so I'm not convinced that the
costs (in terms of time, money, effort, etc.) of the solution you
propose are worth it. The first thing you need to do is establish that
the problem exists, which means presenting evidence. I understand your
desire not to reveal your sources, but that doesn't mean you can avoid
presenting evidence.
