Which it looks like the poster "Rotwang" has debunked as a solution!

So all my wild speculations in this post go out the window.

Which it seems does not work, according to the work done by "Rotwang"
which is in this thread.

Trashing that idea for the realworld, but I might still use it someday
for science fiction.

So, yup, nothing to see here, move along. I was just wrong.
