You clearly don’t understand the transparency and power of open source code. Fair.

Helping me to understand would be appreciated and in the spirit of HN. Mocking me? Not so much.

Open source is like Open courts or Right to Information.

Just like anything going in secrets courts is bad for judicial integrity, or RTI laws can help keep government somewhat honest, Open source can help like any other transparency framework.

Just transparency is not a magic solution , open source alone is not going to solve everything. It is just one among many other controls we need.
