"what you are going to commit is" doesn't need the "is" and does need a comma.
"can trivially see" is an unecessary split infinitive and "easily" is a more
appropriate adverb.
"case where you" should be "case were you" as it's the past tense form of the
verb "to be", rather than a location (I think :-) ).
