ok, i understand more or less about deadlock or lock ordering 
(from the database equivalent terms), though have not heard 
about livelock or the others. suppose i decide to be ignorant 
about these issues "for now" and go about building my 
multithreading project. and then suppose these issues cause 
serious problems. would it be difficult to resolve it? would i 
have to rethink/review all the threaded code?
