Traits of a security "expert":

- charges by the hour

- has no product to sell but hype and fear

- conflates "vulnerability" with "attackability" for profit

- thinks by breaking people's products they are helping fix them

- does not know the meaning of phrases such as "practical" and "real-world"

Security experts are snake oil peddlers.

They sell tougher doors so thieves can't knock them down, while the government furnishes thieves with universal jigglers/lockpickers.

The first security expert will be the person that stops the government from putting backdoors everywhere. They won't do that because to them, government backdoors are not a problem. Only your vulnerabilities, which do not prove a service can actually be attacked, are a problem in their eyes.

Which is why they charge you by the hour while working for the government implementing the backdoors that they use to scare you into paying them their high consultancy fees.
