     @eff @falsemirror i'm assuming it went something like this

     IT guy 1: maybe we should do more testing

     IT guy 2: nah it will be fine

     IT guy 1: you're probably right

     the single female IT employee: ummm, guys

     all IT guys: chicks are such downers

     @eff @falsemirror No one wants to take responsibility and the eventual blame for security, and the consensus settles on canned "solutions" like Crowdstrike. It's just like no one was ever fired for choosing Microsoft.
