Ken is correct on all counts. Here people are helpfully corrected if they publish something wrong, some learn, some ignore and repeat ad nauseam. You fall into the latter category. Your reply is a rant, doubling down on wrong advice, even though you say you don't do that. The childish 'lols' and deliberate formatting making content less accessible for those with such needs are unwelcome here. Your OS isn't safe, you can't make it safe. Your code isn't safe, you chose to have it that way. Your advice isn't safe for others. Dunning-Kruger: In this view, the Dunning–Kruger effect is the thesis that those who are incompetent in a given area tend to be ignorant of their incompetence, i.e. they lack the metacognitive ability to become aware of their incompetence
