How about this one, too, so we'll know the technical competency of the 
people who provide answers to the first two questions:
"Do you believe it is possible for software vendors to disclose 
information about software vulnerabilities to their customers without 
the global hacking community learning about that disclosure?"
Any answer other than "No." would prove the respondant is not qualified 
to give answers to such questions.
