Wow - a huge pile of buzz words that really mean nothing. It's pretty clear that you've drunk this kool-aid to the point that talking with you on this subject is pointless. But let me finish by saying that a system that doesn't isolate irrelevant events is garbage (and a huge security issue). It doesn't matter what the real-world does in that case -- the inability to filter irrelevant events is one reason why junk phone calls are so evil. (And why I almost never answer a phone these days.) Randy.
