</div>Supporting arguments / proofs of problems? Why is it that you only<br>
read and responded to my technology-related points, which weren't even<br>
addressed as questions?<br></blockquote><div><br>Why would I answer questions that are based on false premises? It would be pointless.<br><br>Also, I wasn't trying to "one-up" you. I genuinely couldn't care less whether people on this list think I'm the best thing since sliced bread or an egotistical n00b. I'm also not the one who started the personal attacks here. I debated a point in your premises and you lost the plot and started accusing me of wanting to "appear intelligent compared to the rest of the group".<br>
<br>As for the 'should we pigeon hole ourselves more' quesiton. No, I don't think we should. I think security professionals can learn a lot from other disciplines especially when it comes to the development of automated testing tools. A lot of work has been done in other areas that is applicable to the security industry (formal verification, AI etc) and having a knowledge in these areas can only be beneficial.<br>
