Indeed. It's the security equivalent of "the market can stay irrational
longer than you can stay solvent" - perhaps we could reformulate that
as "the users can remain clueless longer than your business can survive
the DDOS"

There is no limit to what human beings can stand before becoming
reasonable. That is human nature and the engineers' rationality is no
