An autocrat could perhaps be vulnerable to the foreign press, so I'll take care not to place the device on such a person. If someone placed a DVD drive on his head, he could get annoyed and throw the device to the floor, following which it would most likely not function. Very logical.

In case the device is sensitive to external pressure, I won't place a 1,000-page dictionary on it either.

Fortunately a DVD drive isn't difficult to use.

At least most of it seems to have been spellchecked. There's always a silver lining. The device even works.
