How would what we are discussing change your view or opinion about Slackware?

I am sure there are exceptions. A knowledgeable Slackware user does not mean that user is proficient in code. While I would lean that most do some form of coding or edit of code in some form. You can harden the system by using guides (trusted);

Trust is a learned condition from experience with another! That is how I feel one will earn my trust by having a positive, respectful experience with others. That does not mean that if someone opposes my point of view that trust will be lacking. I can have a good/bad experience with someone who is polar opposite and still trust that same person after they have shown trust is deserved.

BTW, to be clear, I am not calling anyone stupid. John Wayne's quote does apply when that person is stupid;

stupid is as stupid does
It means that an intelligent person who does stupid things is still stupid. You are what you do.
