    You are right about the nature of action-at-a-distance as something that one generally wants to avoid. I was thinking of "addomesticated" action at distance, the rationale being that if one wants to mess with such stuff he is supposed to know what that he/she is doing. Since it wouldn't be sensible to repeat too much, you can find more details in my reply to BrowserUk's one.
