Nonsense.  The strength of Open Source is its openness.  Lots of talented
people get to see the code, spot and diagnose problems and correct them
quickly.

With proprietary software, only a few get to see the code, and
non-monumental problems have to wait for "the next release" to get fixed 
-- and then it may get superceded by the needs of the marketing department.
