"My guess is, like so many of the disruptive things on the Internet over the 
last 3 or 4 years, this is almost a teenage prank kind of thing," said Salus 
of Matrix.Net. "There are a lot of bright kids out there; unfortunately some 
of them are bored."

sounds like he's not blaming a 'teenager', he is equating the worm with a 
'teenage prank kind of thing'
Hell I wish I was capable of such malicious mischief when I was just a 
teenager
