It seems like an alternative might be something along the lines of this, just a rough sketch

- Alice wants Bob to notify her about something

- Bob advertises an email address specific to that something

- Alice creates a disposable email address and requests that Bob notify her about that something at that disposable email address

- Alice only accepts emails to that address from Bob's something-specific email

- Once Alice receives an email from Bob's something-specific email she discards the disposable email

I strongly disagree with this. “Computers” would have not been replaced with the machines that replaced them if those machines routinely produced incorrect results.

One could argue that for applications where correctness is not critical my position does not apply, however this is not the analogy that the article is making.
