Huh? I have been arguing that the supposed costs of using fine-grained 
security are fictitious. I think you've got things backwards.

Moreover, for the last 6 years I have been building software tools that 
exploit the potential ease of capability-based programming. One tool, 
the Waterken RDB Webizer, even enables non-programmers to build 
applications that exploit capability-based security.

There's a lot of material at my website that could help you understand 
the ease of programming with capabilities. See:
