Please remember even those people who are in the industry can make mistakes, after all we are still human. We sometimes overestimate how well our setup works and underestimate what the threat really is. This can work in reverse to. This is why people belong to groups with like minds, not the same, but similar. They can help each other better understand certain threats.
