Kids these days.

Harvard architecture, unlike von Neumann architecture, had a strict separation 
of 
progrma and data store and representation.  It would have been impossible for a 
program to modify its own or other executable material.  Data was not 
executable, 
so SQL injection and XSS would have been impossible.  (So would a lot of other 
things, but ...)
