To quote from Tom Clancy (Hunt for Red Octover IIRC), it's possible to both
increase security and increase access as a marine at a gate beats a padlock for
both
In computer security especially there are many examples of things that increase
security while decreasing error, increasing availablity, and (overall)
decreasing cost.
sometimes it's 'pick 2', but all to frequently people actually opt for 'none of
the above' (i.e. sub-optimal in all areas)

The CAP theorem, for example has some very peculiar definitions in order to make C, A, and P "independent"
axes. Of course they are NOT independent in engineering practice. In fact, they aren't even "binary" -
there's no "yes" or "no" to C, A or P - they are not even spectra that map to some increasing
sequence.
Yes, you can't always get what you want. But you can almost always get what you
need, and that is never a specific two out of three.
Especially not in queue management algorithms.
Goddamn cutesy anti-intellectuals.
