> I am sure there is a correlation between pay level and understanding of security
Good, then maybe you can see a path forward to stop arguing the opposite?
Yes, it is possible to pay a lot for a little. Developed country, less developed country, wherever. It remains, nevertheless, relatively less expensive to hire an inexperienced coder than it is to hire an experienced one, who has a greater likelihood of being security-conscious. But no formal mechanism prevents the inexperienced coder from finding work cranking out unreviewed programs.
