Data and Insert requests are routed the same way, and when an Insert finds
the data it returns it like the DataRequest would - so in fact it is
making a retrieval attempt just by letting the InsertRequest live.
In other words, making the insert go ahead if the retrieval failed is
exactly identical to doing nothing.
