The idea that hacking is less likely than anyone intentionally going back into a completed turn and
1: Countermanding a series of critical orders
2: Destroying some of their own items
3: Casting 4 (count them, 4) dispels at their own globals
is pretty ludicrous.
Sounds like both of the scenarios you paint are equally ludicrous!
