Even if you unplug the NIS, there are still ways to break it. So its more like a comparison to me. If I was a customer and I will have to choose, I will go for an Oracle9i knowing that it can be broken from a security expert. But in the other hand I definately won't go for a DB that can be threatened by a 12year old kid with fancy tools.

Cause you have to CHOOSE. There aren't unlimited choises and you can't beta test for ever.
