AJ, you're letting your open source evangelism make you sound like a twit.

To paraphrase from the article, you're indulging in "Open Source theatre"

Having the Source code no more guarantees Security than having sheet music guarantees the production of good music.

No software is without bugs, even fully audited. Good software, deployment and configuration testing are far better guarantors of quality than mere source.

Would you need the source code to know that printf("Hllo World") had a typo?
