I resonate with my fellow witnesses. Definitely, protections need to be installed. I like to think of protections as though you're carrying a bird in your hand, and if you press too hard you're going to squish the bird.
The key problem that comes from focusing on protection is that you end up waiting for too long because you're making sure you install everything right, and then you end up losing the opportunity. As an example, a lot of delays and overhauls that are supposed to come into the system can be excused by saying that they're still working on the final protections. Otherwise, no, I'd resonate with both.
