In the early 90's, I attended an academic conference in Hawaii. At one presentation, a colleague from the University of California at Berkeley whom I'll refer to as "the supervisor," told a story of young hackers, who he referred to as the Urchins.

This is a logical fallacy called 'straw man' argument.
Let me give you a better analogy:
A son living at home, figures out how to enter without damage, and leaves a helpful note for Dad.
This is better, but far from perfet becuase i've failed to take account of the 'duty of care' or contractual issues when a student pays for a service, he should expect a secure one to safeguard his personal details and work.
Context matters, don't just focus on a perverted from of a principle.
So to all those who offered a logical fallacy I say to you - you're an idiot.
