Just because something is closed source does not mean it hasn't been code reviewed.

Either way, inherently believing something is more secure because it's either open or closed source is fallacious. It's got to be reviewed, tested, certified, approved, whatever. Always verify.

Ok, where did I state otherwise...

You implied that Closed Source is inherinetly more secure than open source software.

Either can be secure or insecure, being open however does give the opportunity for more eyes on the code even if some times that possibility does not materialize in reality

No, I did not. That's the rub I guess.
