White House Cybersecurity Leader: Technical Know-How's a Distraction

White House Cybersecurity Leader: Technical Know-How's a Distraction
GIZMODO | AUGUST 22, 2014
In much the same way that the best heart surgeons have never studied medicine and Supreme Court judges have never really read the law, Michael Daniel, the White House's cybersecurity coordinator thinks that "...being too down in the weeds at the technical level could actually be a little bit of a distraction" in his position.
After all, he explained, he doesn't "have to be a coder in order to do really well." And he is living proof: He's has no cybersecurity experience, is not a coder, and is not a software professional of any kind but he is the top cybersecurity guy in the White House.

Willful ignorance isn't an argument favoring competence. Rather, it's the argument an arrogant, ignorant, hubris filled apparatchik uses when questioned about their competence.
Thanks, we think, DrT
