I get what they are saying: There is a difference between theoretical and applied.
I think the OWASP/NIST/InfoSec has always been a bit behind because of this mentality. I think there is a progressive forward looking mindset that is often seen as "mad" or "unhinged" when it's ultimately throwing paint at a wall to see what sticks.
The driver is curiosity but then someone comes along and applies CBA and ROI, and CAC...the person who was curious has left because that wasn't the goal. Eventually something will stick that meets all of those mainstream ideas.
If you think of the body as a computer, it communicates through DNA, a much larger scale of information passing. Binary is just arbitrarily selected because it was there. Should we stop exploring binary computational systems? No but we also don't need all our eggs in one basket.
