"Bugs can be found in closed source software" and "code will be seen by a wider variety of programmers if the source is open" are not contradictory statements.

"Bugs can be found in closed source software" and "code will be seen by a wider variety of programmers if the source is open" are not contradictory statements. This is a false dilemma. I agree there is an element of false sense of security, but I fail to see how the answer to that is to actively encourage our security software to be closed source.
