I'll admit to some minor sympathy for this
reason. But it seems to me that if its just
a time lag before the paper is published,
then why not just choose to wait to submit?

The problem is that if you do submit the
p-code, then what happens if you never
get around to changing it back to the
m-file version?

So lets concede I might be willing to trust
your p-code. Then why can't some other,
less scrupulous individual, post their viral
p-code? They too will claim to be waiting
for publication.
