I downvoted because the poster doesn't understand what security by obscurity means.

Except I do know what security by obscurity is and you are out of date on the subject. When you have attacks that make ASLR useless, then it is security by obscurity. Your thinking would have been correct 10 years ago. It is no longer correct today. The middle ground is to say that the benefits of ASLR are questionable, like I said in the comment you downvoted.
