This is irrelevant given that we are talking about known vulnerabilities.

No, you can't reliably find all the vulnerabilities by auditing the code.

Yes, if you audit the code and believe you have found a vulnerability, you fairly reliably are correct in your belief. And should probably take action even if you aren't.
