And that's good.

>But do you really have 1000 programmers to check that program

I guess you don't but I also guess you do have thousands of users who pay enough attention and care enough as to use the tools ('member when we used tcpdump for firecox?) they have at hand to check and see whether a software is doing something suspicious/misbehaving and then they can also say 'holly cannoli, why this, let's check the source maybe, or let's contact someone so they can check'.

With proprietary sosware you can not, you can only suck it up. The situation is not ideal, but it's the best we can. I do strongly believe the following, I also believe one does not need to be a genius or a programmer to understand it: the more lines of code the greater the possibility of bugs.

Just as with normal written text, the larger is the text you rote the larger the probability of typos, grammatical errors etc
