Thomas, I suspect that thaumaturgy is responding at least indirectly to writing like this: In 2014, Lastline Labs discovered only 51 per cent of AV scanners were able to detect new malware samples. Let's unpack this statement. First, consider that for some definition of "new" you can get that number up to 100% or down to 0 (stuxnet). Second, the fact that over half of a crowded, very uneven field accomplish something really difficult is remarkable, and yet you use the word "only" as if all antivirus should detect modern threats. Third, you somehow manage to imply that it's rational to dump any AV because 51% of your options fail at doing something hard. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned but I think reporters should work hard to avoid spin. In this case, removing the "only" and fully explaining what the take-away is (and isn't) would help a lot.
