The argument is bogus, because it assumes "known endpoints" send more
reliable data just because they are known. If you know the origin,
you still do not know what will be input.
If you assume criminals, than knowledge of criminal techniques
forces all I/O to be written assuming counterfeit.
Examples of failing security setups are readily available.
This has little to do with deciphering Ada.Streams or deciphering
XML documents.

The argument is also bogus if it implies that programs should
never read any input unless they know with certainty what will
be input. This excludes research programs that must try find
signals in noise, search patterns in the chaos, or look for
needles in the hay stack.

More like a generalization of a very special case...
