I think you missed the point Jeroen was making there. If Mallory
*really* wants to compromise your server, there will be a level of
security beyond which a gun to your children's heads is the most
cost-effective attack. In most people's threat models, they'd rather
take their chances with compromised data than with their kids' lives. In
such a model, making the server too secure can itself be a risk.
