Just hope the Universe has a damned robust kernel that keeps system memory from being poked by random user processes…and would this make Grandfather a serious genius level system hacker?

Also this would be Information Technology indistinguishable form Information Magic. Do we REALLY want to give That IT Crowd that much power??
