Not sure what the philosophical sense would be. I just mean that an awful lot of people treat security as "hack on the code until it doesn't obviously break", and that's the wrong mindset for practical security.

I’m not sure what you could possibly mean by LLMs don’t have comprehension if not speaking to philosphical debates of what comprehension means.

I think your point is otherwise right, but the correct answer is standard best practices which is the easiest thing for bots to do
