And believe me, you can screw their code to hell and back from the forms with a little creative application of NODEFAULT! As soon as you can get any source code, preauditing is down the tubes...

I didn't say that they were right, just that was their opinion. It sounded weak when they told me 2 years ago. I think it was at a booth at DevCon? but I'm not sure if there or in a call afterwards.
