It's called "sarcasm".  No security professional could have *possibly*
predicted that using a URL that looks like

https://www.big-bank.com/account=134233433

could possibly be attacked, and it's *so* hard to design your web
interface to prepare for that sort of session hijacking....

What are you talking about?! It has the magic "s" after "http", 
which means "Secure".
