Isnt every vulnerability that was reported to us a "hypothetical" scenario ?

Lets assume we have 2 projects in one the vulnerability was taken advantage of
while in the other it was not.

How would you tell them apart ?

in both these universes 11 people join over the course of a year

In one universe these are all just random new developers. In the other they
are payed to gain vote power and control.

If you list their names from both of these universes, you will notice a
shocking detail
in both universes, its the same people, just in one they where payed and
in the other they joined for their own reasons.

I hope you see that we cannot detect this
Then how would "not detecting" this, mean anything ?

thx

Many things microsoft did are stupid, but not doing something just because
microsoft did it is even more stupid. If everything ms did were stupid they
would be bankrupt already.
