I really feel like people don't value intrusion detection enough. Why was Heroku's intrusion detection system "rely on Github's intrusion detection system"?

As described, the attacker quietly retrieved OAuth tokens from a single Heroku database, and then very loudly scraped GitHub.

I'm not saying it would have been impossible to detect the first action, but it's substantially easier to detect the second.
