The point remains though: trimming this down into a friendly little
phrase is, IMCO, useless.

One of the common problems in trying to persuade the masses of ANYTHING, be it the importance of secure software, the 
factual or moral correctness of your political stances, etc., is how to communicate it so that they will understand and 
receive the message.  You can easily confuse them, bore them, or turn them against yourself.  Truly putting it on 
bumper stickers is likely to be useless, but this is a useful exercise in thinking how we could express the concept 
briefly and simply.

Another useful thing would be if all engineers would enroll in Toastmasters, but that's another story.  ;-)
