I'm not aware of any geniuses in security. Are you? Paul.. learn to read. I said you need at least one genius because the grunts in the trench need direction. And yes, some security geniuses do mostly theoretical research (most cryptographers for example).. but there's a lot of very clever people who spend most of their time thinking about how to make real-world security palatable for the users (for example, I don't think Schneier has had much time to do crypto work of late, and Steve Bellovin took time out to write RFC3514).
