No, but I also read the story, or at least part of it.  I think I was
left wondering if the weakness was in the *head's* of the GL's rather
than the ring itself.  If a GL thinks it has a particular weakness, it
can't bypass it (since it's based on will-power).  If you present a ring
and claim it has no weaknesses, the GL treats it accordingly.
