I never advocated security through obscurity. What I actually advocate is security through proper management of technology where it's necessary rather than always borrowing blindly from someone else.

It is professionally incompetent to go looking from the outset for technology to solve your problems. Correct technical design is a from-scratch process in which only when it is complete and harmonious do you go looking for shortcuts and trade-offs and even then you need to know the full functional story 100% rather than assembling together a bunch of things you don't fully understand. It is also a sine qua non for the competent developer to reject what doesn't fit whether it's standard or not.
