Well, it is simple: Switches are no security device. They have a long
hiistory of beeing exploitable, their complete design is optimized for
communication, not separation. This is clearly a reason to be very careful
when you actually use a VLAN Switch for separating communication.

Evey bug in a switch is a possible argument against using VLAN and pro using
physical separation. Still a air gap is th best firewall.
