VALID.  Fluctuation of charge is weird, but quantum physics is even
stranger.  +1 Style.

VALID.  We've got some chemistry now.  On the other hand, it would be nice to
get some more basic principles in.  Also this rule is a bit long compared to
the coinciceness that I think is still possible.  But it opens up doors, so
+1/2 Style.
