In computer security, never attribute to ignorance that which is adequately explained by malice.
Dunno, if I were to backdoor a piece of my code, I would definitely put in an exploit instead of a deliberate bypass.
Plausible deniability is important.
A lot of the stuff I worked on already had glaring issues like that without me having to add it..
