By iconic, I mean reprinted over and over and cited
sort of by everybody.  

2002 original document
http://www.cert.org/archive/pdf/02sr009.pdf

one example of the picture alone
http://www.processor.com/images/Editorial/fullsize/00886313.jpg

That is what I am asking -- is there an update somewhere
or, for that matter, argue with the original if you want.
Taking the picture at face value, the skill required should
have asymptotically reached zero a while ago, etc.
