Remember that emission cheating scandal? Where we supposedly had a system in place to detect bad actors and yet it was detected by a rare case of some curious student exploring how things work or some such.
Which is why open(-ish[0]) things are good, because people can get curious and see how they work.
[0] I understand the emissions cheating was not supossed to be open, but a relatively open system allowed said student to take a peek and see what was going on.
