If anything I think this underscores the parent comment - open source is not inherently more secure than closed, it just adds another potential avenue (source code audit) to ensure security.

If nobody actually audits the source, and the closed-source binary has had other types of testing done on it, it's likely that the closed source binary will be more secure.



Yes, my comment was in support of its parent. If reading a million lines is hard, reading ~30 million is harder.
