I you trying to tell us that you cannot possibly grasp the concept of
a question being philosophical while being technical?

I find hard to believe that you cannot accept such simultaneity. Ever
heard of the wave-particle dual nature of light? Do you also have
problem accepting it?


Looking up in the calendar, it's not the 50s anymore, it's 2007. Light is neither a wave nor a particle, it's a quantum object that, when measures, shares some properties of a wave and some properties of a particle.

At any rate, your analogy is bull***. Malware running on your PC is like children with god-like powers, they're free to ignore anything that is not imposed hard. Network traffic filtering isn't even nearby a hard imposture, the malware is free to simply hijack an already trusted application to make it deliver the network traffic on its behalf - that's the point where you lose.
