The point that I was trying to make is that they have proven correctness within a specific abstraction, but the article incorrectly say the code is "hacker-proof". Hacking in most cases happens because we can break through abstractions.

The title is terrible as several of us argued here. The article itself at least describes the process accurately with many quotes talking about how tricky it is or that you should test it anyway. Just a terrible title...

They said hacker proof code, not hacker proof hardware.
