LOL! True enough tic
Actually, you may be better off, because when there's a Windows exploit, you don't have to deal with idiots posting strawman arguments claiming that people believe that Windows has no flaws and is invulnerable.

The only thing I will say is that, subjectively, many Mac zealots (and Apple itself) portray the impression that the Mac is invulnerable, especially the ridiculous defense that "well, since it is a PoC, it doesn't count and no exploits target the Mac". Objectively, I can't recall anyone seriously saying the Mac is invulnerable. Subjectively, many (again, including Apple Corp) sure give off that impression.

However, I might be biased, nor is it truly fair to accuse people of portraying an attitude. People should be held accountable to their words, not our interpretation of their words. Phew, is that sitting on the fence enough for ya? happy
