I'm specifically NOT speaking in such absolutes. I have frequently used the phrase "some security," to make it clear that no system will be 100% secure. "Some security" brings risk to a manageable level, making it possible to transact business, accept some level of loss, and still make a profit.

FACT: It was
funded partially by the U.S. military, and partially by other federal government agencies. It was
created by university scientists seeking ways to share research data.

Most? No. The most extreme and infamous... yes. And again, you are referring to the most extreme cases to make your point.
