Denigrating the concept of security through obscurity is not the same as claiming the inverse holds. This should be an interesting experiment in whether subjecting code to an early phase of public hazing reduces security holes and risks of all sorts.
They started their decline about the time Astounding turned into Analog (around the time of Sputnik), but really the SF magazines are being dragged to their death from above. Having grown up reading science fiction, I'm now embarrassed to be seen anywhere near that section of a book store. The speculative aspect of the genre has been completely lost. The adolescent drivel has triumphed. But then, short fiction of all types is endangered.
Of course, written science fiction of all types has been diluted by the inanity of Hollywood. For instance, Gort was the Martian emissary in the original short story of "The Day the Earth Stood Still". Instead, we get Michael Rennie (or Keanu) as a leading man.
