I think the burden of proof lies with the person claiming things that nobody has seen does in fact exist.

- JadeNB 17y agoI am not making any claims about the actual, present presence of malware. My only claim is that it is unduly optimistic to believe that a vetting process offers a complete immunity from malware. Maybe I mis-interpreted your position, and you meant only that malware is less likely in a ‘gated community’ such as that offered by the iPhone and pals. If that is what you mean, then I agree. If you would like a more grandiose claim, then I am willing to strengthen it slightly by making the definite claim that, some time between now and the heat death of the universe, there will be malware on the iPhone. However, this statement, being (practically) unfalsifiable, isn't worth much, which is why I didn't make it originally.
