"Layered approach" is not a magic incantation to excuse any bit of snake
oil. Homeopathic remedies might not harm (pure water is pure water),
but that's not an excuse for quackery. And frankly, most of the
"security improvement" crowd sound exactly like woo-peddlers.
I agree completely; but layers that provide actual security improvements
are important.
