Yeah, people like to say that. "But the source is open!"
When was the last time you actually read any source of any program you use regularly? Do you just assume other people do so?
They don't. Just look at the amount of bug reports on any large scale project. That's all unintentional errors someone missed.
How many intentionally obscured errors are out there?
The only true response is to trust literally nobody except those that have some level of massive fuckoff financial responsibility not to screw you over. And also don't trust them either. Trust them less, actually.
