but completely backwards in thinking that an undocumented bluetooth backdoor is worse than the worst vulnerability found since the invention of the internet

Right HeartBleed was way worse than this, not on the same level. I wasn't claiming the opposite.

I was responding to the comment that appeared to suggest they were on the same level.

Yeah, looks like I was gonna respond to the other guy too, but ended up rolling both replies into the same post for some reason. lol oops.

The first part of my post is just backing up what you had said, and the second half was for the guy you were also replying to, to point out how crazy he was.
