Exactly, as was demonstrated by GGP's "had to go through to second level support". That seems perfectly reasonable to me, yet seems somehow objectionable to GGP.

"Can you believe that I had to prove my identity to the support group in charge of requesting replacement cards in order to get a replacement card?!"

"Uh, yeah, that makes total sense; what part of this tale of woe is surprising or interesting?"
