Sorry but that's just an idiotic assertion.

Closed source proprietary crypto, you just don't know who wrote it, who audited it and who backdoored it and who knows of any flaws in it.

Open source crypto, it's there. Go read the source. Anyone can and it's open for audit.

There aren't enough eyeballs I agree but there are infinitely more trustworthy people looking at it than closed source.
