It's just silly. I wrote an "imagine if we could trust the kernel as a boundary" and I get 100 posts about the same misconceptions. If people read into my post that I think a Rust kernel would solve all problems, perhaps I was overly simplistic with my language.

People here are overly nitpicky, your language was fine.

I don’t think people are nit picking. The issue of container vs VM security is unrelated to memory safety. So bringing them into the discussion here, even if just in a hypothetical, is odd. You could say the language might be misleading but Occam’s Razor would suggest they’re just conflating the two topics.

Frankly, their comments since (especially those around namespacing) doesn’t do much to convince me that understand the distinction either. So it’s not just the opening post.

The best think they could do in this situation is to ask detailed questions from those that reply, as to why people disagree. Rather than stating they do understand and everyone else misunderstands them, while continuing to post the same misconceptions but phrase differently. At least if they asked questions, there’s a chance they might learn something.
