Cyber-Security Can't Ignore Human Behavior - James Fallows - Technology - The Atlantic

Cyber-Security Can't Ignore Human Behavior - James Fallows - Technology - The Atlantic:

Here's a quote we can't agree with:

"On the positive side, the cyber-universe can be thought of as reduced to the 0s and 1s of binary data. Actions in this universe consist of sequences of changes to binary data, interleaved in time, and having some sort of locations in space. One can speculate as to why mathematics is so effective in explaining physics, but the cyber-world is inherently mathematical."

Noooo, cyber-world is inherently human, humans doing things with binary data.
