I wonder if it's scientific at all to speculate* that this computer security situation is an extension of the fact that biologically, we are built more to destroy (in our cells, and thus our evolutionary psychology) than create (i.e. stay healthy, endure, and be indestructible).
Sure, we re-create, but that cycle aside, it's easier to attack and kill than to defend and live. In all of nature, it is easier to destroy than it is to create.
Thus, our human-created systems of information technology are fundamentally trapped in the same paradigm as we are, with the same characteristics described as above.
If that is true, then truly secure systems may only be possible if an 'AI' singularity occurs, i.e. once a tipping point of self-improving software to fundamentally happens in which it becomes able to re-invent itself as fast as it needs to be (a million times a second until ad infinitum), only then will computer security truly exist, because such a system of creation of no longer bound by nature's cells and earlier evolution.
Until then, computer security is way too limited to our very primitive selves that it suffers from now.
