    The folks designating Best Practices in financial reporting have a
    lot of credibility, was what I said. That's folks like the FASB.
    Folks who fail to follow them, or hunt for loopholes in them that
    require patching, understandably don't share that credibility. I
    tried to write to make clear which I was referring to, apparently I
    failed.

    Understandably, there's no reason to hope we'll be alive when it
    begins to happen. We gotta do computer security now, even though
    we're having to make it up as we go along.

    Well, after a fashion. Best Practices, in the context of computer
    security, should be used as a touchstone for the ignorant and/or
    fraudulent, trying to pretend that their field is sufficiently
    mature to have something analogous to Best Practices.
