No, yours is, if you believe that something that has no ability to
provide any security, can actually do so.

It's been a MYTH for quite some time that MAC filtering protects your
network.  It doesn't, it cannot.  It's up there with the foolish beliefs
about hiding SSIDs.

Passwords are part of security.
Encryption is part of security.
MAC filtering is merely network management.

Security is about enforcement.  MAC filtering has no enforcement
ability.
