      .@guardian should retract at least as loudly as the way they spread misleading & dangerous advice. Publishing more "opinion" is no panacea.

      Worse, reporting every usability trade-off (which helps keeps users secure) in such alarmist terms hurts coverage of important weaknesses.

      People who cannot comprehend basics of security—the scope & implications of a threat; what options people have—shouldn't report on security.
