    Those are not good holes. :)

    This plan has a flaw: what if they don't detect the holes? It gives
    you no information about whether or not they use anything besides
    Nessus; it only tells you that they didn't detect the hole.

    A better plan might be to ask them which portions of their output
    came from tools other than Nessus.
