People might be secure.

The system might be secure. The people will not be.

It's much easier to exploit humans than machines. The Russians did and probably still do HUMINT for this reason. US popular culture knows about Kevin Mitnick's social engineering, which is also HUMINT.

Hence, 'echo chamber'. NATO-aligned countries are susceptible to this, but in the US the problem is like a techno-fetishism. It's been this way since the '50s.

These are not consumer items. Industrial systems seldom live just one life, and after being decommissioned they usually go up for action to be recommissioned somewhere else. If you artificially disrupt this dynamic you cause enormous economic loss, and for what? To perpetuate a buzzword?

The entire proposal is barking up the wrong tree.

It is however a moderately interesting insight into the echo-chamber of national intelligence. Rather funny to see how Mr. Geer talks about monocultures while laying on their own lore _thick_.
