a post-it note is nearly impossible to hack -- only a high-value unsecured physical space can compromise a post-it note.
Sniffing a password over the Internet/LAN is far easier.

"precedent" means "past experience", not "abstract theory".
macroeconomics != microeconomics.
<100% tax on in-country activity can't really drive anyone away, because leaving the country would mean leaving money on the table.
