The point of the exercise is
not so much to show how well E.week can harden a unit or set of
units, but that it can be done.

I don't think eWeek has any kind of agenda here, so far as proving that web
apps can be hardened, etc.  I think the point, for them, is to generate
publicity so that they get more advertisement and subscription money.
Whether they end up writing an article entitled "eWeek Apps Prove
Unhackable!" or "Wily Hackers Defeat eWeek Apps", it all works out the same
for them.
