Hi Paul and all,

Hmm, that really doesn't sit well with me. As I understand, you are
advocating good security design over testing? But what about human errors
in the above "good design"? Admittedly, no one can eliminate all of them,
thus scanners/exploit tools will server as a final semi-real-world test of
how "good" the above design really is.

Best,
