> An informed market avoids lemons.
Has that been true in practice? I can think of plenty of horrible products, in IT, on the market. In terms of security (including privacy), the market has done nothing for IT consumers. And what about the people who already bought the lemons, before the market learned of it? Also, what if the lemon doesn't affect me but affects others (such as through DDoS)?
I prefer to keep it as simple as possible, but no simpler.
