Yes, well, try telling that to a few IMS reviewers.  We don't have a
collection and seem, according to some of the comments we receive, to be
penalized for it (despite some of these comments resulting in the review
being stricken from the score, most of them are NOT caught by IMS and stand.
What, me bitter?).
