Seems about right.

- TameAntelope 5y agoVery presumptuous of me to say this, but I wonder if the "brick wall" is a non-technical PR type who has been put in the center of many very technical questions, and has realized that his/her boss doesn't yell at him/her if he/she simply doesn't respond very much to external queries. It can be hard when your job mostly consists of talking to extremely knowledgable people (such as many researchers in this field are) without yourself being at least broadly knowledgable on nearly everything technical.
- hnarn 5y agoI don’t understand your point. They are talking about “Apple Product Security”. If the person employed there is as you describe then it’s first of all an outrage that Apple do not hire sufficiently competent people for these types of critical positions, and secondly it does not exonerate this hypothetical person from the duty of escalating and understanding the impact.
