In fairness, this is only the case when people are actually inspecting the code. That safe could be a cake that looks like a safe, but if nobody tastes it there is no real benefit (in terms of security at least)

It's a harder con to build a real looking fake safe, hoping no one will actually test it out, then just lying about what's behind a curtain no one is allowed to look behind.
