Which hack was that? The one Thompson is reported to have actually
implemented in Unix? You are assuming what you are trying to
prove: you are assuming there has only ever been one instance of this
class of attack, and you are trying to prove that this class of attack
is unlikely.
We can imagine all sorts of possible ways we might have been sabotaged.
It is an imponderable.
There are limits to how much effort we should make to deal with the
imponderable possibilities of sabotage. Especially since there is so
much else we know that we need to do. To throw away all our software
because of these possibilities would not make sense.
