    Isn't this type of reasoning okay to an extent until you (or in more humbling cases, someone else) points out it's no longer working?

    What about some form of external auditing down the line to add legitimacy to these honeypot claims? Maybe open sourcing the technology as well?

    How? If you like playing Warhammer, go to Games Workshop. If you like climbing, go to a bouldering gym. I appreciate that there are probably some counter examples. But part of this…
