>Why "class of attack haven't been found" necessarily leads to "we can't guard against this class of attack"?

One thing I can think of is the practice of using multiple random number generators to generate a number that is random as long as any 1 generator is random. This guards against attacks on a specific generator even if those attacks are unknown. The class of attack is known, however, and protected against.
