Since I can trust myself with a higher degree of certainty than any open
source author, and since I am in a closed, controlled environment (locked
room), the obvious answer, for me, ism well me, closed source coding.

YMMV, perhaps if you were in the same situation, you would trust open
source, unknown and possibly unvetted authorship.

I would consider that a personal problem if true.
