This is a mostly terrible 19-year old list.

Here is an example:

"Your software and systems should be secure by design and should have been designed with flaw-handling in mind"

Translation: If we lived in a perfect world, everything would be secure from the start.

This will never happen, so we need to utilize the find and patch technique, which has worked well for the companies that actually patch the vulnerabilities that were found and learn from their mistakes for future coding practices.

The other problem is that most systems are not static. It's not release a secure system and never update it again. Most applications/systems are updated frequently, which means new vulnerabilities will be introduced.
