Having been consultant/ trouble-shooter at many places, those definitions hit the nail on the head!

Is this borderline genius? Worst case scenario, you double the time for a brute force attack. I could even imagine fine-tuning it with the perfect percentage of 'failed' first attempts to balance best UX and account protection.
