You must not have read to the end.  You&#x27;re in violent agreement with the author.  The points about SQL injection and the Java privilege system are raised, not because the author considers them valid, but because they have rules about both of them, and someone who is just counting rules -- an obviously superficial metric that the author ultimately rejects -- might be influenced by their presence.<p>Yes, the lede is thoroughly buried.  Fault the author for that if you like; but you don&#x27;t actually disagree with the conclusion.<p>EDITED to add: I&#x27;m going to put this more strongly.  You should retract your comment.  The ad hominem at the end is not only uncalled for but extremely ironic given that you didn&#x27;t (your assertion to the contrary notwithstanding) actually read the entire article carefully.  Your comment is not up to the standards of discourse that I know you strive to maintain.
