Theory vs. counter-theory (Score:2)

Right, there's a difference between the type of target your professional cat burgler (Robble robble . . . wait, that's the Hamburgler) is going to go after and the one the boored teenager ne'er-do-well is going to hit. The professional black hat's going to have more perserverence, or see the stronger system as a challenge. The scriptkitty will jiggle the handle and run off when he hears the purported doberman.
Kind of the don't-have-to-outrun-the-bear-just-you school of security.
