RE: Missing the point?

But don't the tools help the developer produce better quality code through
defect detection?

A Network World article,
http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/0419codereview.html, discusses the
various MS patches that came out last week. Ellen Messmer, the
author, talks about the many companies and startups that are selling
products to help with code auditing and testing to help automate the
security review process.

Isn't she missing the point? It is not the source code that is the
problem -- it is the developer.

Thoughts?
