Experts from a decade + ago, in a field that is constantly evolving.
Also no one has said not to take preventative steps. What has been said is that telling someone they should have taken them is victim blaming. So your terrible analogies with fire alarms and house alarms are rather misplaced, not that they actually addressed any of the points brought up by Paperbackstash or others, unless you're saying homes with alarms that are activated somehow look physically stronger than homes without, or that fires are going to look at a house with a fire alarm and think "Nah I'll only be put out real quick". Which I presume is not in fact what you're saying because that is of course absurd.
