Can you substantiate that claim? My web sites don't use file extensions, 
but I doubt you can convince me that this increases my security risk.

I know little to nothing about SEO - my decision is based on my opinion 
that URLs are basically friendly APIs for the average person. Things 
like file extensions and underscores don't seem very friendly.

Simple is beautiful. :-)
