    From one InfoSec Blog on Risk:

    ” For a start, we have too much of a techie-geek outlook and we are not well educated in statistical methods.”

    “I have nothing against opinions about risks, what I do object to is trying
    to make opinions into solid numbers….

    Lets face it, most people don’t understand statistics.”

    And apparently most techie-geek infosec people aren’t fond of probability theory, either.

    FWIW “opinions” is a much more interesting assault against subj. matter expert priors than using “guesses” or “wild guesses”.
