"We should never ever rely on emails for anything important. "

This made me laugh out loud. I don't think "hackers" here on HN realize how much business is done by email these days, including plenty of important business. And no, if you are a CEO, and call your counterparty after your emails to confirm - you're not going to get anything done.

Meanwhile, a lot of these same hackers working in software development put email account control at the root of their trust chains (ie, with an email account I can drive a password reset).
