Does it sound like this? If a restaurant says that "our food is our top priority", I don't think anyone would think that means they're not going to lease a premises, buy chairs/tables, hire waiters etc.
To me, the very fact that you say something is your "_top_ priority" implies that you have other priorities.
It feels like the author is responding instead to the premise "security is our only priority".
- jtwaleson 2y agoThese companies do not sell security, they sell products that need to be secure. The restaurant sells food which needs to be safe. A more apt analogy would be a restaurant saying "food safety is our top priority". To me that sounds like a restaurant that wastes a lot of plastic and produces a lot of food waste that might spoil soon.
