If Peter is crying WOLF all the time. The one time he sees one, no one
will notice it. That is how humans work.
If wa start crying 'backdoor' all the time who will notice it anymore if
there truly is one. But untill reasonable arguments based on code audits
or other reliable sources are presented we must assume that other human
quality prevailed: Humans make errors. Even very silly ones at times.
