Taking that quote at face value, it is shallow and needlessly binary. It’s shallow because it is a truism (paraphrasing, you cannot write bug free software). It is needlessly binary because there is such a thing as the size of your trusted computing base.

bug free maybe not, but without security holes? you definitely can
This is a ridiculous statement.

The context, and forum, are what makes it important.

Given your response logic; we can take any quote by any person and apply the same. Arguably; your response deserves the same.

To remain constructive, I suggest you research further. As my ongoing engagement (employment), and general interest, in Information Technology continue - i cannot help but further relate to Theo’s attitude.. lol
