The dude that wrote this blog is a goof....

defines backdoor as “relating to something that is done secretly

effectively constitute a “private API”, and a company’s choice to not publicly document their private API

Idiot thinks these are two different things....

Are they are trying to argue that malicious intent is needed to define it as a back door?

Moron..

You’re very smart. I didn’t realize that until you called someone a goof, idiot and moron, but now it’s very clear that you have far superior intelligence.

A backdoor requires malicious intent, otherwise it's just a vulnerability
