Matt, we had this conversation in person at a bsimm conference years ago when we were talking about how best to focus energy during threat modeling exercises. And while your position has become more nuanced, it still reconciles with our original agreement that time is the finite resource.

Unless I'm missing something specific? I imagine the reason why an agency would avoid said hostile battles is specifically to preserve time or perhaps to also buy time. (Being noisy is a great way to lose time quickly)

Agree to disagree on the money component, though. Maybe my comment is best clarified as "infinite from the perspective of [defender]"
