Of course.
But you'd better be right.

<war story>
Junior sysprog was using a well-known monitor that showed a bunch of "unused" 
shared storage. He decided we could use it, so decided to free it.
Despite the said monitor warning *twice* that the segment to be freed had 
changed.
Then went to lunch.

Those of us still at our desks starting seeing really weird JES2 abends. We had 
a JES expert in-house, and I had a look at a couple of dumps, but we had no 
idea, so eventually pulled the pin (development system) and IPL'd to get a 
SADump. Still scratching our heads when afore-mentioned junior returned and 
wanted to know what all the kerfuffle was ....
