Not at all. They are inserted by the contructor.

Example: I install a game somewhere, and create and constructor for it.
I give the constructor a capability to the score file, and seal the
constructor.

Now when the game is executed, it has a capability the user has not, and
it cannot grasp the capability from the game running.
