Do you mean that the firmware can be replaced after the device was assembled?  If so, what is the procedure to do that?
The official procedure is rather nicely shown here: http://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-user/updatingfirmware.html
Hm... What if someone get holds of your Trezor without your knowledge, installs malicious firmware that saves your passphrase, returns it to you, then steals it again after you have used it, and downloads the pasphrase?  Or whaterver?
your contortions are getting a little contrived ... and a bit funny too.
You don't build confidence on a system by having it examined only by people who want it to be declared safe.  Wink
