Torvalds agrees. His message, according to the Washington Post is this, "Security of any system can never be perfect. So it always must be weighed against other priorities -- such as speed, flexibility, and ease of use -- in a series of inherently nuanced trade-offs." This is a process, Torvalds suggested, poorly understood by his critics."
