Story: Are hackers going pro?

I found the article with Robert Graham being interviewed on internet security to be both interesting, but also a little annoying. To call these hackers stupid and only thinking of one step beyond the limits set by any type of security is very shallow minded to say the least. Children these days (Not children from the 90's revolution) are fed computer literature and manuals until they cannot see anything but code of all languages, who is to say that these "Kids" cannot, at a tender age write something that could bring down most of the internet with ease and go the extra 5 - 10 steps beyond that Robert Graham says is not possible? If Robert is as narrow minded as this, how many other interent security chief scientists think like this? And it begs the question should they be in the job they are, to under-estimate anyone is silly, to under-estimate the youth of today is VERY stupid indeed!
