I have a simple answer to this. Forget the debate, rhetoric is not a scientific method of determining truth.
"Thor" wants a challenge, let's have one - a real one and not one based on verbalisations, abuse and unfounded assertions. I suggest two components; 1 A selection of software products are tested using both processes, that is I use a model for the risk of these products, and "Thor" can make up whatever guesses he wishes. We model (or "Thor" guesses, pulls from a hat...) the vulnerabilities over a time period. The number of bugs in software as well as the risk are to be presented as a monthly estimate. 2 We model a few systems (say 50). We can use Honeypots (real systems set to log all activity without interference) run by an independent party to each of us. I use probabilistic models to calculate the risk. "Thor" does whatever he wants. Each of the predictions is published by all parties. The one who is most accurate wins. Fairly simple? I will even give a handicap to "Thor", I will offer to predict within a 95% confidence interval and that for me to win, at least 90 of the 100 software products and 45 of the 50 systems have to lie within my predicted range that I calculate and release. "Thor" has to simply guess better than I do no matter how far out he is. I will put up $10,000 Au for my side. Let's see if "Thor" has something real to offer. Regards, ...
