> True, but if there's a communication bug between UX and back-end teams, that can escalate into a false sense of security and then an exploit. How so? The backend ALWAYS validates. No communication necessary, whether or not the frontend also validates doesn't matter to the backend. Frontend validation is to improve user experience, nothing more.

>The backend ALWAYS validates. Exactly. Sometimes in a system so big compartmentalization is required yet meta-communication is inhibited, that comfort-ability can lead to false asserts / assumptions. "We always validate - no need for _me_ to do it" type bystander effect / diffusion of responsibility.
