Aha, you aren't being presented with the full picture. The part of the
operating system that can be made responsible for removing the operating
system is mirrored into short term memory whilst the purge continutes.
The magic here is that once the long term storage is clean, the short
term can be erased by features outside of the OS, ie turning off the
power.
