It's not a criticism of SE Linux. Originally, it was just a reminder to
people that SE Linux changes the security tradeoff, and that if the
calculation turns out to be wrong, your box is less secure than it
otherwise would of been.
IOW, in theory SE Linux can make a box no less secure. In practice,
people not behaving with due caution (due to them relying on SE Linux
too much) can.
That's true of any security product, of course.
