I think it's just that calling it "maths" tends to give a false sense of certainty where none is warranted. Example: All the really clever math you use to make an encryption algorithm is all 100% correct. Then all the really

Not for cyanide. It occurs in nature far to frequently for us not to be well suited to clear it. Our bodies even convert it to B12 in some cases. A hand full of nuts (organic, free-range, et al) will likely have more hydrogen cyanide than t

You can easily truncate or pad to convert between 64-32bit as long as the 64bit end stays in the lower 2GB. You could do everything else in userspace if you really wanted. At the cost of safety, type handling and optimization from the compi

Are those points not the same for closed source products? "You don't know where the code came from" and "your best indication if its safe is how popular it is."

No. That would be like someone taking GeoCities down in 1998 and claiming you took down 30% of "The Internet. You would have gotten a bunch of stuff, but obviously not 30% At best they took down 30% of hidden web services with publis
