If you track down the original copy of the article (on the Slashdot front page ATM)
http://www.globetechnology.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20030406.whack46/GTStoryYou'll see that they author is a "business and technology correspondent". I.e. he's not a techie, which is apparent if you read his description of source code. You'll also notice that the statement you take issue with is not a direct quote. I'd be willing to give Theo the benefit of the doubt that the author misunderstood the "Only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 7 years!" claim of the OpenBSD team. Unless you think that claim is also untrue.
