user`agent/can it be trusted?

10.1: adde/user`agent/can it be trusted?:
. one reason an app may want to do its own gui
is when it doesn't trust the environs;
eg, it may be infected by keylogger .
. with that in mind,
one must be careful about the addx architecture
appearing to have the same vulnerability as the matrix .
. some secure.wares like keepass are openware,
so there it's possible to integrate .
. it's an empty concern however,
because if addx is not controlling the whole platform;
it's discipline is applied only to
programs under it's control;
the user can still access other programs directly .
. if addx could have complete control,
there would be no way to get key.logger infections .
