The problem, it seems, is that we are increasing the complexity of the "Secure Software" in an attempt to thwart the most sophisticated attacks.

However, as many people are already thinking, Complexity reduces Security and Stability. Therefore, it seems that the more we try to fight the "hackers", the more likely we will add some insecurity which they can exploit.

Complexity doesn't reduce security.

Complexity can both improve and reduce security depending on specifics, and thus generalizes to "no correlation" demonstrating that generalizations are often misleading.

Your claim that it generalises to "no correlation" is not supported by your assumptions.

Uh, begging pardon, but what are my assumptions again?
