"given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow"

The premise of that claim: "Given enough eyeballs", is often taken as a given. Everyone who has done a security audit of Gnash, please raise your hand.

I'm a strong advocate of open source. But I would be remiss not to state that eyeballs per line of code can be quite variable.
