I love how inconsistently paranoid Unix people are. They won't include "." in the path or make ssh/scp commands which accept passwords as commandline arguments, and are so anal about these kind of things all the time, yet their cp, mv, etc. will so happily crush files without prompt by default.

And no, security *isn't* much more than that.
Insisting otherwise doesn't make it true. Security is more than just confidentiality. What use is your data if it's inaccessible or corrupt? To put it in more concrete terms: are DoS attacks a security issue?
Your unecessary complication of the notion of security makes me wonder if any system you maintain is truly secure at all.
Your understanding of security is naive and simplistic. But don't take it from me: the concept you're derogating was developed by the security community at large. People who make their living keeping multi-million/billion/national-level security up? If anything, c/s/i is too simple as well, the NSA specifies c/s/i and also authentication and non-repudiation.
Who the fuck are you?

Oh, no, a typo. I guess this means your "unecessary" is fair game?
