I believe the other respondents didn't actually read what you wrote, or
perhaps failed to register what was a pretty bizarre idea... The flaw
isn't with your logic but with your common sense, e.g. the idea that you
could "ignore traffic overhead issues" - an implementation that sent 3
out 4 requests only to throw away the replies should and would be
considered totally unacceptable.
