True...but not as stupid as the stupidity of giving the machines that
control things like industrial turbines *any* communication path to
"the net".  Every time I read about how some bit of malware has
infected a bank, or a utility infrastructure, or some such, my reaction
is "what the F--- was that network doing with a comm channel to the
outside world anyway?".
