Because my point was nothing like what you're complaining about.  My

attack an end user's PC is ludicrous.

I don't think I missed your point at all. My reply is simply that a security model that relies on the fact that its users are business users, its programmers business programmers, and is itself a business computer is no security at all.

If the flaw actually exists and is as described then it is a security problem. That the iSeries is a business computer doesn't somehow negate such security problems. If there is a problem fix it, don't avoid it by saying everyone is too busy to notice.
