The problem with that line of paranoia is that it doesn't trust
someone enough to run code you can't see but at the same time trust
them to give you the real code.
Of course, if the code that's been released doesn't match the code that's
running, we can obviously note the problem. Not so if the code is held
back, or only given to "trusted users," as subjective a criterion as you
can get.
