And you obviously don't know what you are talking about if you think that code with a logic issue is easier to detect then code that does something completely different then it should.

If you were to put a backdoor in some program you wouldn't insert a "backdoor code", which could be easily spotted, but place a concealed bug that you can exploit later. A bug inside a piece of code that other than that does exactly what it's supposed to do.

As such, in the event it was found, it would be indistinguishable from any other bug, and because it's deliberately concealed it'd be harder to find.

Which leads to believe that maybe, just maybe, someone could actually have fixed that backdoor already (if it's true that it was placed to begin with). If some dev had found it he wouldn't have gone "OMG A BACKDOOR!!!" but just fix it the same as with any other bug.
