By the same reasoning, obviously SIAI is only asking for computer security experts because they're running their website on PHP3 on XP SP1 with no firewall.
No, wait, that doesn't make sense at all. People often employ experts on whatever to maintain or improve their current level of whatever, not merely because they are grossly deficient in whatever.
