> I'm curious, what the answers to the comparisons you mentioned would make you conclude positively in WordPress's favor?

My goal in disqualifying myself at the beginning of my post was to make it clear that, although I find the article to be unconvincing (the reasons for which I tried to explain), I'm not the one (at least, not given how little I've thought about it) to come up with a good way to decide what it should mean to say "X is secure." Unfortunately this means that answering my questions isn't probably a good use of your time, because to me they were off-the-cuff. (Oddly, I had answered one of the questions that you responded to.)

The list is not exhaustive. It was a mix of real questions (code metrics) and anti-questions (# of users) that was unfortunately not very logically laid out. They were just what came to mind while waiting for a 5x5' storage unit rental to get cleaned out.

To be moved, I think people want to see relevant data. Unfortunately I don't have more to offer about what that looks like than Potter Stewart did.
