Very true. Unfortunately, I do not trust the programmers if I cannot check their work. The purpose of source code validation is not to check the computer or it's software's trustworthiness. A computer will do what it's told. It is human corruption I'm worried about. Of course outside of computers that is a different problem altogether. I just don't want people blaming computerization for failure of elections.
