<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 5553801, member: 1886&quot;]All too often success, (in this case, defeating</p><p>counterfeiters, ) becomes the complacency that leads to failure down the road.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the beginning of WWll German U-Boats did&#039;nt have many&nbsp; &quot;natural predators&quot; to keep them worried.

The British Mosquito was particulary good at that. By the end of the war U-boats had taken 80% losses.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, there has to be forgers out there to keep us worried. The ideal scenario would be a vermin population low enough that they don&#039;t threaten to run us over but high enough to keep us worried and looking for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, it would be wonderful to eliminate them all. Then the public would be confident and&nbsp; rush in to&nbsp; buy slab-o-Morgans or whatever, and send values to the moon. And then what? The forgers will see how much they can now make and double down like Marines in hell regrouping, until they&nbsp; defeat whatever it was that defeated them.</p><p><br /></p><p>There must be a menace to keep everyone worried.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
