Yes, theoretically and practically it is possible to make a statement
by proprietors that their proprietary software is more secure and more
stable, but unless source code is available then no third party and no
user of software can verify it to be so.

If source code of proprietary software is not available for
verification and building, which is more often the case, then
statements cannot be proven by third parties or users.
