With all due respect, I wouldn't argue with all the reasons given in that 
article FOR using script.  But the author can hardly reach the 
conclusion he did (can't think of a reason NOT to use scripting) without 
providing some balance.  The words 'safety' and 'security' were 
nowhere in that article. And there was no consideration whatsoever of  
deviant uses.  Kinda like extolling the fine craftsmanship of an AK47 
while selectively ignoring its more salient capabilities.

Not looking for an argument, honest!  I'm just looking for a definitive 
proof that one need not worry at all about being victimized by script 
kiddies.  And there *seems* to be more evidence out there to the 
contrary.
