  • your analogy doesn’t quite work here tbh.

    It’s not a transparent lock, a transparent lock would be easy to pick. It’s more of a usual lock, but everyone can see all the blueprints and changes done to them. You can make changes to the blueprints yourself, and if the locksmiths approve of it, the next iteration of the lock will have them included.

    Everyone who’s in the set of users of OSS software can contribute, therefore the set of people in control of the software that want it to have no backdoors whatsoever is always larger than the set of people who want to let the backdoors in, unlike in closed source, where corporate can singlehandedly decide to include a backdoor on purpose, not to mention, lots of OSS projects have such a large quantities of different people working on them, corpos won’t be able to gather so much humanpower under a single project ever.

    you have no idea about how scientific method works. It’s the furtherst thing from being dogmatic and claiming to know everything. When you look at modern science, you don’t look at a “that was like this” statement, it’s more of “that’s what we discovered so far, it’s weird, so we re-checked it with every method availeble to us, here’s all the data we have and how we checked it”.

    I dare you to read at least one actual scientific article before you claim anything about modern science. It’s easy to badmouth it and fentasize about your own reality when all you read are nothing more than rewrites and interpretations of said articles, made by journalists that want to write front-pagers, not to represent the data correctly and substantionally.
