Yes.

I am replying to this just to answer your question. My question was
already answered. However, I am now curious what I should have said
instead of "P.S. this is simplified example code". I am finding it
difficult to communicate here and I consider my English excellent.

I feel I have to over-explain and cover all sorts of 'back-doors' in order
to avoid rather pointless 'problems' later. So... what should I have said?

For example, I figured some could attack me for my 'example' code not
protecting the critical section properly with a try/finally, etc.
