Perhaps you should because the end result is the same, shit code sinks ships. Somebody could have written it intentionally or somebody could have been a dumbshit. Doesn't matter to me because now my computer is compromised.

I mean, the term 'backdoor' has a connotation of intentionality. Unless you write perfect code 100% of the time, you probably rely on the difference.
