I agree with you that the example is not the best, but obscurity has a lot of benefits. We did an experiment with a few students on obscuring a WordPress installation some years ago to catch ppl scanning for certain plugins. That gave us the ability to use the regular paths as honeypots. Gives you an ability to detect 0-day attacks as well.

I don't want to personalize the comment. But in Europe there are many examples where McKinsey implement a model to fix the money distribution problem. At the end, society gives up the culture and ideals. While the ppl get short handed the partners get a bonus. Still, I think this is mostly a problem of bad public leadership that is not approachable.

In all kindness, let me ensure you that experience is rarely gained until your forties. Early on we may feel on top and hold important positions, but it is not the same thing as understanding the other side. To gain wisdom, not there yet, probably take another 20 years.

McKinsey have messed up government policies all over the world when it comes to McDonaldization of Society. They are using simple measurements to model how complex societies should work, unfortunately this is only works for McKinsey and their partners.

I wonder if they will do physical fingerprinting for unique digital signatures?

Going after a subset of low end devices seems a bit off-putting to me. A-One should be mandatory, but most manufacturers are hooked on adding bloatware to track you.

I use it every day. Regarding P1, if an app ask for permission access to e.g. images or location, and you use the app, how would you limit what the app can send home or even review it? See discussion in the other comments if you're not an Andriod developer.
