Erm no. We are talking about security here. And for security
false or week security is much worser then no security.

This is because week security lets people think: "hey, I have security
here. So I dont worry about its limitations"
If there is no security, people think "ok, I have _no_ security, so
I must be careful with the way my data flows"

Take care,
