I didn't know about this animated SF television program so I had to read multiple times your answer+watch the (enlightening) episode to get what you were talking about with "Bender", "deity"... Anyway, thanks for the summary ;)

I understand you like hunting for bugs into malware. It's like R&D...
But what makes you think "free virus producers are just much better programmers than those of MS-Windows malware"? Do you think writing a malware on Linux requires more technical knowledge than on Windows?
Besides, do you mean "free virus" as in "free beer" or "free speech" please?

Thank you & Best regards,
