  I mean that I'm showing that using a UUID as a namespace, ala

        net = require "6CC24CA3-0D40-550D-9B0F-EF54C94C54C1.net"

is a bad idea, instead of just saying it's a bad idea.  Some people might
need proof of it being a bad idea.

Well, if it's any comfort, I totally agree!  Proof is: just try to read the code!
