It is a straw man argument. You've made up a point that I never
stated ("Java guarantees the security of the entire system") and
started attacking it.

So? We agree on this completely. So why not just say, "Curt's right
that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link," and leave it
at that? There's nothing to argue about here; you appear to agree
completely that I'm right on that point.
If you think I said something the opposite of that, well, that's your
imagination, not what I really said.
At any rate, I think it's really time to let this one go.
