Oh, you are certainly on point. But how deep down the rabbit hole do you want to go? I mean, after reading "Trusting Trust", you really can't be sure of anything. Who writes your compilers? Assuming you are not specifically referring to security stuff, and more talking about a responsible community; well, I don't know. I do know that I need to get better at C. And that that was w/r/t interpreter comment, in case that implication was not obvious.
