Firewall LeakTesting.

Apart from the self-promotional blah, blay and old-hat 'cum' timeworn
yadda, yadda justifications is Steve Gibson finally realizing that PFW's
are Phoney-Baloney ware? (he didn't use the exact same words though...).
Of course the die-hards probably have a different interpretation :)

Excerpts:

Leo Laporte: "So the leaktest is kind of pointless."
Steve Gibson: "Well,yes,...
Leo: "So are you saying that there's no point in doing a leaktest anymore?"
Steve: "Well, it's why I have not taken the trouble to update mine, because
you..."
Leo: "You can't test enough".
Steve: "Well, yeah.
Leo: "Right. Very interesting stuff. I guess that - my sense is, if you
can't test for leaks, a software-based firewall is kind of essentially
worthless."
