>All I did was provide a counter to the claim that open source means more eyes which could make your software more secure.
You really didn't say much about open source and it's ability find bugs; you just cited a particularly nasty set of bugs on an open source project as a way to condemn all of open source work to being as bug-ridden as other methods.
It was more snark than it was providing a clean example as a counter-point. Someone could easily point out the millions of bugs in closed source projects as a counter to your point of equal caliber; but I think that it's clear to most of us that NO methods that we yet understand will result in bug-free code.
