Very good, John!  Re the reference to Niven & Pournelle's "Inferno" having
an escape hatch, an argument could be made for such a view from Christian
scripture.  I am thinking of the parable of the unforgiving debtor, Mat.
18:23-35, particularly verse 34.  "And in his anger the master handed him
over to the torturers till he should pay all his debt."
