It would be possible to convince me that he didn't mean to deceive. It would 
take an honest-sounding statement that he thought that everybody would 
understand that installing packages might be not only unsafe but actually 
insecure, and also a very good explanation of why he – or someone giving him 
orders – thought it was absolutely necessary to be so cryptic. It would be 
dishonest to apologize before I'm convinced.
