Out of context? What was the context of your post? it was a silly childish remark that demonstrates no knowledge of security and added no value to the topic at hand.

I was making the point that reduction of functionality != greater security... though sometimes the two go hand in hand.

Excuse me, risk managment and mitigation are themselves != to security. Risk managment is identifying a problem before it occurs and devising ways it *mitigate* them if they were to occur.

Neither of which makes any improvement in security at the OS level. And to call a tongue in cheek comment like my first post "childish" is in itself childish. Further more your blind assumptions about my knowlege of security again is a childish remark which only added to your obviously self promoted ego. It also added nothing to the topic at hand which you so hypocritically pointed out.
