Linus Torvalds lauds fuzzing for improving Linux security

By the way

Asking Dimitry Yukov if he believes in fairies and Santa Claus is not being mean about Unicorns. A bit sceptic perhaps. Then again searching for "sceptic" I get this:

"a person inclined to question or doubt accepted opinions."

"an ancient or modern philosopher who denies the possibility of knowledge, or even rational belief, in some sphere."

And searching for "skeptic" I get this:

"a person who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be factual. 2. a person who maintains a doubting attitude, as toward values, plans, statements, or the character of others. 3. a person who doubts the truth of a religion, especially Christianity, or of important elements of it.".

(Wow, especially Christianity).

This would all make me very sceptical was it not for my spellchecker who demands me to be skeptical.

Quite frankly I think Linus should have gone with some nice swear word for less confusion and not risking being considered mean and breaking hearts.

(And once again I realize I am retired).
