It was a simple, critical fault in a bit of software which had a lot of very qualified eyes on it
Do we know this particular bit had had a lot of very qualified eyes on it? This is the problem with the eyeball theory. That a piece of code is open for anyone to read does not mean people who care actually read it. Everyone: it's open source, there are many of eyeballs on it, therefore I don't need to read it!
I'm trying to think of ways to make people wake up and routinely review the code and changes they use. You really don't need to be an expert programmer to spot a duplicated goto fail or the total lack of bounds checking.
