I agree. Maybe as a dev I've become cynical and don't trust anything. Least of all some app holding my document. Makes me think of the "Voting software" xkcd:

You think that's cynical? I must be some avatar curmudgeonliness then. I'm pretty sure that what's actually going on is that everything we think of as a 'profession' is that way, and that people are in fact dying because of it. The difference is that devs are honest about it.
