You don’t trust binary blobs? But do you read through all the source you compile? If not, there is little difference.

This is akin to arguing living in a room with an unlocked door is no different than living in a locked jail cell if you happen to never try to leave.

If the jail cell is as comfortable as the unlocked room, there is absolutely no difference—until you try to leave. Any sane distribution should come with built binary blobs—and an option to rebuild them at will. But forcing you to build everything from scratch is pedantically impractical. But what do I know, I only do this on regular basis at work!

Binary blobs are not the same as binary packages having source readily available. I see that pmoriarty appears to be misusing the term, I was responding to your comment without having closely read his.
