How does this analogy make sense? It's totally possible for someone to steal valuable data from a computer system, even personal information. There may not have been any sensitive information in this case, but to suggest that breaking a security system is a "public debate" seems wrong.

I mean the underlying conceptual security system, not the data it protects. Crowdsourced security audits are similar to everyone telling you in public debates why you're wrong.

Ah ok, sure. Thanks for clarifying.
