If I would believe each 'puter can be trusted to always behave at its best,
why than should I bother with putting them into different subnet, IP-ranges,
VLANs or whatever ?

No, I've set up my network considering the possibility that one of the
'puters can get the flu. The groupwise isolation makes sure that not all
others get infected too.
