The idea is that many others can inspect the code and would cry foul, if foul there was. As apposed to those others not being able to inspect the code, on the their's and the communities behalf. Having some people, not affiliated with the software creators, able to inspect the code, makes for more security for everyone else, if it's all out in the open, it's harder to hide something. That tracks, right? If the code is closed to all but those who created it, then no non-interested parties can check it. Am i missing something? What exactly are you arguing?
