The other funny thing is academics have been struggling with things that
are causing the security community fits - like responsible disclosure -
for as long as people have been writing things down for others to read.

If the "real, hard core security researchers" would listen (or read) a

If you thought BIND was bad, what about nuclear fission research?  How
was that handled in the 30s-50s?
