 <h2>Proprietary Insecurity</h2>
 
 <p>This page lists clearly established cases of proprietary software
-that is grievously insecure.</p>
+whose insecurity has enormous consequences.</p>
 
 <p>It would be incorrect to compare proprietary software with a
 fictitious idea of free software as perfect.  Every program has bugs,
 and any system, free or proprietary, may have security holes.  But
-these flaws are very bad.</p>
+proprietary software developers frequently disregard gaping holes, or
+even introduce them deliberately, and these cases are particularly
+bad.</p>
