A theoretical security vulnerability isn't really a think - it's just a bug. Either it's exploitable, and thus a security vulnerability, or it's a bug and isn't,

Global variables are not bugs -- at worse they are bad style and can cause bugs.

As for your other comments, there's this "burden of proof" thing.

Did you reply to the wrong comment by mistake? What other comments? What are you talking about?
