True.

I do recall one case however when Janes magazine did some sort of
comparative review of various missile systems. The pulled together lots
of different bits of information already in the public domain for the
article. IIRC HMG (or might have been US DoD) got all upset and claimed
disclosure of secret information. It was one of those cases where each
little bit on its own was considered ok to release, but pulled together
was more than the sum of the parts.

Are you saying that you're incapable of designing a secure system?

Yes! (blunt enough?)



Godel would tend to prove you right on this.

Well its a fairly safe assumption, I can't write bug free code, and I
have yet to see error free requirements. So you are onto a loser before
you even start worrying about not controlling most of the variables!
