Cambria is a brilliant man, studied material and spoke to what he thought were experts in the field. Unfortunately, this is a common issue with executives. They often chat among themselves and their peers and end up not having a clue what's happening in the trenches. My guess is that he has spoken with Larry Walters who is trying to patent and make a killing on his verification system so he was misinformed about what's happening in the real world.
Cambria obviously was not the guy that should be talking about technology. He was accompanied by 2 high profile executives that also do not know what's happening. It's normal for these folks to jump at the chance to speak in front of congress as it looks great on the resume and a nice story to tell.
Cambria was probably the right guy to deliver a speech.
In the world of securing large scale networks we had a solution for this. We would always pair an executive with a well spoken and well groomed tech guy.
At any rate, it seems clear that we need to educate not only the world but our legal counsel.
