Imagine you’re running the Space Mountain ride at Disneyland. And the car pulls up, and 8 people get into the car, and it zips off through the tightly-controlled tracks and everyone has a totally normal ride. All good. But then the next car pulls up, and 9 people get on the car. There’s only room for 8 in the car, and the 9th person who doesn’t fit … now works for Disneyland and can do whatever they want.
