Your argument is absurd. Network security considerations are different
than local system security considerations. We have control over who can
have an account on our systems. We don't necessarily have control over
who has access to our IP ports.
There's also the difference that we've never claimed that GNUMach is
secure. There's the general expectation that ssh is.
