You are probably right.

However, there seem to be two different kinds of brokenness:

  *  Usually, broken objects are represented by a "broken object"

  *  Sometime, they prevent access to the object that contains
     the broken object.

I do not yet understand the difference, although I already
had one case of the bad type.
Maybe, I will understand it should it happen again...
