Obscurity is a perfectly adequate layer of security. It shouldn't be the only layer but those who argue against adding it heard at some point "security through obscurity is not security" and never dug deeper.

I agree. Hiding from a grizzly bear is a good strategy. But if that fails, you will need pepper spray and maybe a shotgun.

Bear Defense Plan: Hide, Non-lethal, Lethal.

You've said it just like it is, prevention + preparation.
