Hacking Abilities vs Language Skills

Hacking Abilities vs Language Skills

Today I was reading and Ars Technica article on the Australian classification board getting its web site hacked when it occurred to me that hacking abilities and language skills must be inversely proportional. Think about it, when was the last time you saw a vandalized web site that had a legible message on it?

I imagine that the relationship is something like the graph above (nevermind its rough looks, I just quickly drew it up in Inkscape).

Let x = hacking ability
Let y = language skills
Thus y=k/x, where k is an unknown constant.
