This is a tangent: I'm baffled by the subtext that the attackers have such an easy time attacking, and defenders have such a hard time defending that security experts are our only hope. It's really self serving, even if partly true. I don't know where the truth begins and the self serving ends though.

It's not that security experts are our only hope, it's that you don't go to a mechanical engineer when your car breaks down. One person is really good at designing, and another person is really good at fixing. In the ideal case, the fixer brings the broken thing to the designer so the designer can improve the design. The tighter that loop is, the quicker the quality gets better.
