missed opportunity for "less is secure"

"Secure" is a different, harder promise than safeR.

but still along the same lines as "safer". the stresses are different, "safer" has the stress as "SAY-fer" and "secure" has the stress as "sih-KYOOR". the latter sounds more similar (and rhymes better) with "more", the originator of the phrase "less is more"
