Agreed they are. Which is true in almost every form of software, mechanical expertise, sports, and society in general. It "just works" always will come with the caveat that it could probably work better if you know what you're doing. That said, there are a variety of countermeasures which could be automated to prevent the attack you describe and will likely only get better as the science progresses. It's always a cat and mouse game, though.
