I don't think that analogy quite fits :) If the 'grunts' aren't doing
their job, then yes - let's blame them. Or at least help them find
ways to do it better.

I couldn't agree more! This is my whole point. Security isn't 'one
thing', but it seems the original article [that started this
discussion] implied that so that the blame could be spread out.

If you actually look at the actual problems you can easily blame the
programmers :)
