  • The reasoning of "no matter how carefully you try securing your code regarding feature X, smart hackers are always one step ahead..." could be applied to any other technique, not just X == eval. And therefore, for any feature X: X is the root of all eval... er... evil, so better give up programming altogether (thus pulling the carpet from under those silly hackers, still outsmarting them eventually).
