I don't think that it's fair to call it just "leverage."
You know? I agree with you. Just add an "r" and a space to leverage...
Lever RAGE.
Now, imagine being on a see-saw. You're the light end, and that 800-lb mugato-rilla on the other side is ms. When it jumps down onto the see-saw, you either fly off, or get slammed into any overhead objects. So, it's leverage becomes your.. lever RAGE... but, you're STILL leveraged. Just not in a way you like.
"While NASA was content with the chicken and the egg, the Soviets chose natto for their research. In 1987, Alexander Serebrov, the Soviet Union's most experienced cosmonaut, took dried natto with him on a Soyuz mission. There he found that natto's 80-90% rate of soybean protein absorption made it an ideal candidate for future travel in space."

I eat gimchi, and I like it, a LOT. I used to like the sweetened version, but after being unable to find it in restaurants in SF/Bay Area (outside of Ran Du, in Stockton, CA, run by a Chinese woman who grew up in Korea), I had to accept the more sour/pungent variety. Now, when I eat my Shin Ramyun, I sometimes put in several spoonsful of gimchi and the spicy tofu or spicy soybean and an egg.
I don't often burp or fart from eating gimchi. If the astronauts eat enough of it prior to blastoff (no pun intended) their systems might acclimate to mitigate expulsion of gas. Probably some antacid, or Mountain Tea (Greek OR Chinese varieties) might soothe the acidic effects and affects.
I suspect many of the "funny" comments here come from those who hardly eat or never tried gimchi. In a pinch, or on a regular diet, gimchi is a massive helluva lot better and more nutritious than most of the chemically treated garbage in our US diet. I'll stake my health on that.
"The natto bean is a nutritional dynamo. For every 100 grams consumed, you are filling your body with 16.5 g of protein, 10.0 g of fats, 9.8 g of sugar, 2.3 g of fiber, and 1.9 g of ash for a total of 2,000 kilocalories. To say nothing of the host of vitamins and minerals you are getting: 0.07 milligrams of B1, 0.56 mg of B2, 1.1 mg of niacin, 90 mg of calcium, 190 mg of phosphorous, 3.3 mg of iron, 2 mg of sodium, 660 mg of potassium, and absolutely no cholesterol. There is more. Natto contains all eight of the necessary amino acids not produced by the human body as well as essential fatty acids like linoleic acid and enzymes that aid digestion. All of this has earned natto the respectful moniker of hatake no niku (field meat)."
A Japanese friend introduced me to natto, and he sorta smugly (or I mistook his voice or facial expression) suggested that I won't be able to eat it. I asked if it were meat or some vegetable. He again stated he thought I would not be able to eat it. So, he nuked it, and I ate it with the mustard and soy sauce, and he went "Hmmph", smiled, and was pleased.
However, I would not recommend fry-heating natto on a domed/covered skillet -- unless you don't mind the "aroma" nearly-instantly permeating EVERY garment or cloth in your home or apartment. Well, if you want to offend or seek revenge, then steam/fry or steam-nuke a few small servings. You'll wake up your neighbors in the building...
Gimchi AND natto should should be fast-tracked not only for spacefarer consumption, but also for consumption in more restaurants.
"Titanium dioxide has a variety of uses, as it is odorless and absorbent. This mineral can be found in many products, ranging from paint to food to cosmetics. In cosmetics, it serves several purposes. It is a white pigment, an opacifier and a sunscreen. Concern has arisen from studies that have pointed to titanium dioxide as a carcinogen and photocatalyst, thus creating fear in consumers."
"The MSDS states that titanium dioxide can cause some lung fibrosis at fifty times the nuisance dust, defined by the US Department of Labor as 15 mg/m cubed (OSHA) or 10 mg/m cubed (ACGIH Threshold Limit Value). The ACGIH states that titanium dioxide is "not classifiable as a human carcinogen". Symptoms of chronic overexposure to titanium dioxide in an industrial setting, according to the MSDS, include a "slight increase in lung tumour incidence in lab rats". It also states "when titanium dioxide was fed to rats/mice in a carcinogen bioassay, it was not carcinogenic". The NIOSH declares that at 5000 mg/m cubed there was slight lung fibrosis, concluding that this substance was carcinogenic in rats."
But, since you mention the chicken wire mesh/metallic stucco, I'm wondering if cable companies (say, comcast) liked that back around 1999 when I was buying a new home that had poor on-air reception. It might have served as a useful way to persuade people to get cable. I just attached my twin antenna to the cable wire and used the comcast coax cable as an antenna/signal enhancer. I still got to watch Voyager and maybe 5 or 8 stations over the air.
Second, since many new homes seem to be near-Faraday-cage-like, would that permit some savvy users to use equipment otherwise not intended for residential use due to RF emissions?
How much effort would it take for builders to enhance an under-construction home for a (maybe custom home buyer, but not like happening for tract-home buyers....) buyer who intends to use equipment that *might* have signal or noise spillover?
And, how does the government intel apparatus feel about homes that are heavily shielded but the occupants are persons of interest but hardly use the internet(s)?
Just make it recognize only the girl... Her pass phrases should be in baby talk... with goo-goo, gah gah, BAM BAM! BAM BAM BAM !... koo, koo, keh-koo, kah-- gah-- soro soro shitsureishimasu...

However, they could be writing co-existence code *for now*, with the intent to create a WHOLE NEW ms platform which will be so far ahead of current products as to keep Linux relegated to pre-2010 or pre-2015...
This just goes to show the world how PATHETIC and UNIMAGINATIVE msoft really is. BILLIONS of dollars, and they can't HIRE or entice internal imagination? That ALONE should send their stock or market cap tumbling 1000%.

So, WHEN is ENOUGH ENOUGH, gates?
A true measure of a company's worthiness is not by what it can amass through acquisition, corruption, and corporate slaying, but by what it can create and grow via ingenuity.
Maybe it IS time for ms to perish, make room for others to breathe and then expand without the fear of an msoft around.

They might have used TurboCAD, DesignCAD or whatever can model in infinite units, as long as they choose convenient values that won't end up with results orders of magnitude off.
Now, what will become of Celestia, and all the other programs that might have used the now-debunked (seemingly-debunked) disk thickness/core distance? Will there be a patch showing the historically-taught distance limits vs the apparent/new/revised "north"/"south" limits?
