I am not quite sure what you wanted to say :-) Anyway - this cited
sentence is for me a nice expression of "0 tolerance" copyright
paranoia definition. In fact, most attorneys  say usually to their
clients that there is nothing like legal certainty as long as the
court verdict is known and being innocent does not give you 100%
probability that you won't be sentenced as guilty. Everyone can be a
suspect of committing a crime and it is just a matter of probability
that vast majority of people are not taken to jail. This is just
because the number of beds in jails is limited :-)
