Open is more trustworthy than closed but that doesn't imply open is truly trustable. Ultimately do we need to trust the hardware at all? Can't we eventually just trump everything with encryption?

I think you'd have to analyze all of the hardware you use, which seems impossible given the sheer quantity of hardware in use.
