Admitting that in some of the preceding I've used an occasional unnecessarily direct phrase, I'd just like to offer a final, short summary of my proposition:
Computer security landscape is unsatisfactory. There are many possible directions in which we could move to improve it: of these most acknowledged experts favour automating things to an even higher degree, at both crypto tool and application software fronts. I believe however that - for reasons of software engineering practicalities - such efforts have reached the point of diminishing returns, and that we should instead put more effort into making both the crypto library and application software users better equipped to use simpler tools with greater proficiency.
