For consistency's sake, I hope you agree that if security is an intermediate-to-advanced concept in software development, then all the other "-ilities" ("goodness" properties, if you will), such as quality, reliability, usability, safety, etc. that go beyond "just get the bloody thing to work" are also intermediate-to-advanced concepts. In other words, teach the "goodness" properties to developers only after they've inculcated all the bad habits they possibly can, and then, when they are out in the marketplace and never again incentivised to actually unlearn those bad habits, TRY desperately to change their minds using nothing but F.U.D. and various other psychological means of dubious effectiveness. Great strategy! Our hacker friends will love it.
