Oh! And I'm reminded of a different sort of pragmatism we had circa 2004. At that time we weren't using accumulated currencies, we were using "action points" (i.e. you got action points that reset monthly so you could perform N actions per month baseline, but they didn't accumulate). The system there was "assume success unless the Officer says you didn't have enough action points". The officer was under a SHALL to check all transactions, but any that got missed (after a certain time limit) succeeded "for free".
