> they looked at more than 72,000 C++ code snippets in 1,325 Stack Overflow posts and found 69 vulnerable snippets

If Microsoft managed such a low rate, Windows would have had the invulnerability of Fort Knox in 1989 (even before SO existed).

Hell, if any professional programmer made so few mistakes, software development would almost be considered a respectable way to earn a living.
