System utility surface is directly proportional to vulnerability.
The only invulnerable systems are completely useless, and hence
of no concern to us.

The problem with basic good practices or even common sense is
that real systems and real people don't care, and you can't
make them care. Also, worse is better definitely applies.

So let's just get used to dealing with insecure systems. 
In fact, not all is bad, as a planet made of swiss cheese
is just great if you're a mouse. Yum.
