I just don't agree with that. Those two things make them fundamentally different than Mt. Gox. The other fundamental difference is that they are not run by Mark Karpeles. I have to believe Karpeles is an exceptionally immoral/careless (or something, I'm not exactly sure) person, not anywhere close to the average.
But there is definitely some validity in what you are saying. I mean, nobody should trust to any bitcoin exchange more than they can afford to lose.
