And what would this miraculous software be? Or would these auditors mean 
just  "data couldn't have been hacked by the unskilled lacking tools".

The job of getting around whatever is supposedly providing the 
"unaltered" security is EASIER when it's open software like gnucash. In 
other words, if gnucash did provide this sort of security lock any 
professional  programmer should be able to get around it. With 
proprietary software, source code not available, would require a lot 
more skill and experience and use of some specialized tools. But still 
doable << I used to get paid to do things like making changes to a  
program where the source code had been lost >>.

In other words, the developers of gnucash aren't including this sort of 
(false) security probably because they know that any of them would be 
able to get around it.
