Since when did the requirement of 100% success become the bar that must be
crossed for any policy?  If you really believed 100% effectiveness was
required before anything was initiated, we'd have to give up on information
security all together.

On the other hand, many infosec people have this aversion to expending lots
of effort solving the wrong "problem".  The problem they're *trying* to solve
is "block potentially racy sites like BoingBoing", when the problem they
*should* be solving is "parents complaining when their kid gets an eyeful".
