I think that will remain the case for a long time to come. After all, 
security is a process. The process involves technical and human factors. 
Attempting to engineer people out of the process will ultimately fail. 
Systems only have two possible answers to any given question...yes or no. 
People can respond with very detailed conditional responses. Never 
underestimate the power of maybe, if, but, and or.
