Someone breaking into my house 10 times by jiggling the same doorknob a contractor told me they “fixed” would be very concerning.

  A door would need thousands of doorknobs for that analogy to make sense.

    No, you would need to admit your current approach is ineffective and replace the door and/or the repairman.

      The GPs point is that writing software is a thousand times more complicated than installing a door knob. And frankly I think they’re being generous to you; writing a frame buffer is even more complicated than their estimation.

  > Someone breaking into my house 10 times by jiggling the same doorknob a contractor told me they “fixed” would be very concerning. The complexity is not the same. My grandfather is not questionning my ability to fix his computer that “breaks” once in a while just because I already fixed it the last time.

    But the result is the same! I don't care how complex the vulnerability is. The consequences I do.

      Then I recommend you stop using software. Pretty much every operating system has some fun places near its core that are a steady stream of problems.
