Well, it's fair to say that programmers specialise, but presumably you're only working on the website, and the game developers are only working on the game. TillE was right - if you are going to implement this stuff, you should know what you're doing, or at least seek advice from people who do.
Regardless, the super meat boy developer made a pretty basic mistake, which you could perhaps defend with your argument, but he then refused to engage with someone who was reporting a vulnerability and trying to help. To me, that's pretty astounding.
