Of course they do. I deal with them all the time...when I have to.

But I do not waste effort supporting the two greatest evils in software development today--What-if pessimism and Wouldn't-it-be-nice-if optimism--in one-liners that run for a few seconds and may never be used again.

Let's see. My response was posted 4 minutes after the question was asked--and it worked. Yours came 6 hours later.
