Slide 15: "const objects are inherently thread-safe without any 
synchronization" is a false statement. To be more precise, it is not 
always true: you need to distinguish between physical immutability and 
conceptual or logical const-ness. Where the const means the former the 
statement is clearly true, but not all const objects qualify (sic).
