Right: my point is simply that you have to start with a threat model and make reasoned decisions based on that and your budget. “always argue” is the same as “wrong for a significant number of people” even if it's right for your particular circumstances.

"Always argue against" does not equal "never give in".

But I can see how you read it that way.

I would definitely challenge you on 'wrong for a significant number of people' because if you're focusing on security then it's likely a core principle; and therefore you need to understand and be able to effectively argue your case.

And that doesn't matter if you agree with my position or not for that last point to be true.
