Does a system have to be 100% free of security concerns to "work"?

  No, but it has to be free of devastating vulnerabilities.

    The electronically run global financial system is not free of devastating vulnerabilities, and yet it "works"
    • zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 9y ago
      So, what is your point? The financial system is actually going to collapse, and that's not a problem? Or the vulnerabilities aren't actually devastating, just bad? Or what?

        That many technologists are being hypocritical by wanting to prohibit electronic voting because of "security concerns" while at the same time developing and using other institutional systems with equal or greater attack surfaces and consequences.

          Well, OK, that makes sense. Though I get the sense that the overlap might be limited.
