supposed to protect the guarded, but, instead, it protects the system
against the guarded, and on request from the guarded itself, which was
unusual to the Romans. Nowadays there is an agreement on the necessity
of procedures: do-lists, check-lists, safety-belts, ABS, separation of
powers, quorums... in all systems, not only the /operating/ system (~:

    But, maybe what you understate is that implementing these
mechanisms increases the complexity of the program, hence the
possibility of bug or exploit. It means you may loose through the window
the security you gain through the door. I can only agree. The benefit
depends on the complexity of the program.
