Good show; but the distinction between builtins and ordinary executables is relatively great in this shell. That's what makes a shell, after all -- "first class" executables tied together with pipes and so on.

"Suppose that request fails; should he issue any more requests? Absolutely no... Suppose the request fails; should he issue any more requests? Absolutely..."

Suppose that request fails; should he issue any more requests? Absolutely not: If his first request fails, the attacker has achieved a 100% Error Rate for that 5-minute interval. Suppose the request fails; should he issue any more requests? Absolutely: Zero failed requests out of one request means an Error Rate of zero, and issuing more requests can't make that any worse.

You mean, "Suppose the request succeeds; should he issue any more requests?" ?
