While I agree this could potentially be accurate - I find it's more common place that the need to bring a system up due to pressure by management far outweighs any security concerns for the typical sys admin. I feel that too long in a system administration role with minimal security training, will lead to bad habits which doesn't equate to talented security analysts.
