**2018**

- [3227933-022](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3227933-022) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The claim that blockchain is secure by design cannot yet be relied on, because the technology has not been adopted widely enough to be severely tested, and hacking attacks on digital currencies underscore the concern.
  > Another important challenge is cybersecurity; supporters of blockchain claim that it is secure by design, but the technology hasn't been adopted widely enough yet for it to be severely tested.

**2021**

- [3808859-022](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3808859-022) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Open source products are systematically weak on usability, documentation, support, and testing, because contributors are experts writing for experts and are more interested in the code than in explaining it to other users.
  > The usability of open source products is often underdeveloped and support and testing are often less evolved and not as readily available in open source projects.
