I disagree. By the same reasons, one could argue that any system that has
buffer overflow errors is horribly written, or any software that has bogs is
decadent software. The reality is that such errors/mistakes/vulnerabilities
will potentially be part of any system until they are discovered. It's just
that you can't fix what you don't know is broken.
