Seeking perfect correctness as an approach to security is a fool's
errand. Security is designing systems that can tolerate imperfect software.


Exactly. On "Curb Your Enthusiasm" this happened recently. Larry David was
frantically looking for a DVD case, but could not find it.

LD: "I don't know what happened. I have a system. I put the DVD in the
player, and I put the case on top of the player. But now it is gone."

Friend: "That's not a system. A system is - you buy a bunch of empty DVD
cases and put them next to the player."
