so you work in infosec? or I'm right about your day job. Education to a Phd Level implies some serious specialization. You say "mobile", but those best practices move pretty quick and yesterday's degree doesn't do much to confer today's knowledge.
I know everyone has a different comfort level, but if you have an infosec background you have to admit you're giving away alot of information and potential control. Maybe you're ok with that.
Why is it so hard to believe that people can be different from you?
