Yeah, but for many things, I don't need it. Do I need a secure word processors? (I mean, yes, in some environments I need a word processor that can operate on classified documents and be guaranteed to not make any copies anywhere else, or make any network connections, or leak in any other way. For most of my life, though, I just need a regular word processor.) Which brings me back to my point. If I have to get a fully, 100% guaranteed secure (and also crash-proof) word processor, I'm going to be waiting a long time, and it's going to be very expensive. Meanwhile, I've got stuff to write today, and my budget isn't any too fat as it is. Sometimes fully secure (or man-rated, or 9 nines, or fully validated, or whatever) software is what is needed. Much of the time, though, it's a better engineering trade-off to not go that far.
