Closed systems are unhackable or cheat proof? I don’t think so

  Is your dwelling impossible to break in to? I don't think so. I also think it doesn't have to be.

    Your dwelling's locks also have an open API (well, HPI) - most commonly, you stick a funnily twisted bit of metal into it, and then turn it until it unlocks. There are many things that make regular locks effective at preventing unauthorised entry to your house. Ability to access the lock is not one of them, and neither is knowledge about its principle of operations.

  It's even better than that—closed systems are hackable and vulnerable to cheating, and it's in their peddler's (as opposed to pedallers' …) interest to make sure that you don't know about the vulnerabilities of which they are aware.

    Why are cyclists so prone to cheating?
