given that the detection system would be shared with the host, then a
host that failed to detect the bad guy is presumably being lax about
such things. combine this with the fact that its the host that will
have to tell the existing plugins about the new guy. it seems unlikely
that a host that fails to detect the bad guy will bother to tell the
existing plugins either.
