I don't think so, so I will now try to guess a password on a CIA computer. Dum de dum .... No, no, no, no, boy this is hard, no, no, ...

Hey look! There's a whole mess of police cars outside my house! Boy, some idiot is in a LOT of trouble!

Hey waaait a minute!! How did you know the answer was no unless you tried it? Hope they lock you away!!  This demonstrates the utter futility of what has been termed here as 'non-active' or 'passive' guessing. It is so utterly pointless I seriously doubt anyone is doing.
