Well, the huge flaw will never be obvious with such solutions...
because the flaw is precisely this: it hides huge flaws.

(Do not bother parsing the above, I'm not sure myself.)

FWIW here is my gut reaction: I'm not a fan (euphemism) of escaping
here, I feel like it adds little value while bumping complexity too
much.

But exploring it might be worth it, if someone wants to try!
