You are absolutely right -- in my response I should have said community-based development, not Open Source. My point is that community based-development is not inherently inferior to other development methodologies, and may have some distinct advantages.
I think the issue is objectivity rather than geography. How able are you to comment thoroughly on someone else's work when you eat lunch with them every day? And you both are facing tight deadlines for your project?
One benefit of using an outsourced automated inspection service like Reasoning's Illuma is that there is no axe to grind, no preconceived notions, and no fear of retribution ("give me a bad review and I'll give you a bad review").
