What is called for?
Kyle Amon,  Page 11 

Acknowledgement that we don't and won't know anything with certainty

Observing the questions rather than obsessing on the chimera of answers

A phenomenological approach to the questions: What is security?  What is Linux?  How do they relate?

Isolating the Aristotilian "first principals and causes" of the objects of inquiry

Approximating an understanding of the nature of these objects as they present themselves to us

A resulting methodology for dealing with them, such as they are, in order to institute and maintain security with respect to Linux
