This is bullshit research. I mean, what they have actually found out through their experiments is that you can maliciously introduce bugs into the linux kernel. But, did anyone have doubts about this being possible prior to this "research"?

Obviously, bugs gets introduced into all software projects all the time. And the bugs don't know whether they've been put there intentionally or accidentally. Alls bugs that ever appeared in the linux kernel obviously made it through the review process. Even when no-one actively tried to introduce them.

So, why should it not be possible to intentionally insert bugs if it already "works" unintentionally? What is the insight gained from this innovative "research"?
