I am your opposite here. 
My logic was to find out why they made their statements, and then configure a 
system that won't have the weaknesses they they point out. With Linux, I have 
the luxury of building a system that won't be as "insecure" as the systems of 
the "experts." My system is configured so that even an expert could run it as 
root and not screw it up. ;) More importantly, it is setup so that someone 
like me (who just uses Linux to get things done) can run the box well without 
having my poor admin skills be a factor.
