Engage brain before flaming, please.

The original poster's point was not whether flagged issues were possible security issues, but whether they were *bugs* in the first place, as in the software might have false positives such as flagging something totally non buggy as being possibly buggy (note *possibly*).

Of course, all bugs are worth fixing (probably), but your comment was irrelevant to the OP's point.
