>> We always have to assume worst case for security vulnerabilities, it's kind of the whole job of being a security researcher to determine what could have happened.

Many people will be annoyed by this "assume the worst" drama.

For example, drinking too much water, if we assume the worst, can kill you.

Also, walking around can kill you, if we assume the worst.

Also, just being around can kill you, if we assume the worst, hey, you could die of a stroke.

So, how is this "assume the worst" statement useful?
