I wasn't attacking Antirez. We wouldn't be having this conversation if we didn't agree Redis is essentially good work. I was attacking insecure by default. The point is is that it's not unlikely that someone might accidentally revert to the default configuration even when due diligence was done in the first place.

Can you please go beyond vague references like "tons of things behind the scenes" and "certainly been evaluated". What's the direct answer to the question: "Why can't it just listen on loopback by default?"

I'm not sure "stupid users" and "clever Antirez" gets us any further towards a proper answer here.
