The author stretches his analogies substantially. It's nice to see this was happening 22 years ago just like it is nice to see UNIX from more than 22 years ago still being used today.
Edit: i.e. it isn't so nice. Not much progress.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoYeah, I saw the same problem in the NSA backdoor debate where people liken it to brake failures and such. I pointed out repeatedly that computer breaches rarely maim or kill anyone. Usually don't even cost them their jobs or bankrupt their business. Such analogies are strawmen to try to boost their argument with an emotional response.
