But security is a policy, it's something dynamic. Not static, that's why the OpenBSD moto is a silly as it gets.
Of course design matters, a system designed from groun-up to be secure but even a Linux server with properly configured kernel patchets (grsec), process accounting, iptables, IDS, etc. Can be virtually impenetrable. Same goes for OpenBSD.
Secure operating systems are not new. IIRC Vax/VMS was build from ground-up with security in mind and was deployed by the military. Then exploits security issues started popping up.
