I personally think this list is about users of crypto, rather than cryptographers-creators in particular. The former are mostly computer scientists who think in block-algorithm form, the latter are more the mathematicians.
As a crypto-plumber (computer science user of crypto) I think it is impossible to divorce crypto from all the other security techniques. All the way up the stack.
Or, talking about non-crypto security techniques like passwords is punishment for mucking up the general deployment of better crypto techniques.
