Scanning--more then one side to the argument

There has been a on going discussion about the scanning results on our customers. Thought one says that "any" port on a standard nmap, showing as "open" is a security risk. Thought two says, no since some things need to show in a state of open. Should we be stating that through proactive scan, when we find any port showing as open, that it is a security issue waiting to happen? Or only if we can show a issue? Thoughts? Shand
