There's little harm for people doing personal finances, who have
no interest in verifying anything other than "bank" accounts. (And
I'd include, with that, "credit card" accounts, "investment" accounts,
and such, leaving out just the income/expense accounts...)
But the situation where a transaction hits multiple bank accounts is
what makes it clear that this is Somewhat Dangerous.
