No, it's more like people thinking they have a high grade lock on their door, when in fact they have a broken lock. They can't see it's broken, but anyone who knows about locks knows it's broken, and how to bypass it with a bobby pin.

Is this supposed to be serious, because we want javascript to be better, or sarcastic, because most people DO live behind locks that are broken and can be bypassed trivially with relatively unsophisticated tools? Everybody break out your bobby pins!

You would have extreme trouble picking a lock with a bobby pin, they're much too fat to do anything outside of a movie.
