Is bad training better than no training?  Conrad, Patrick and Evan discuss the topic which has a lot more depth than you might expect.  What goal are we focused on?  Will bad training prevent the attack from even occurring?  Who has the data to prove this correct?  An interesting episode for sure and we would love to hear your thoughts.  Comment on the post/YouTube/podcast.
