To summarize, the synchronized(obj) operation is not exposing the mutex,

It clearly exposes it *enough* to cause potential for deadlocks by
manipulating it in this specific way, which is what this is all about.
Nobody claimed synchronized protects against deadlocks. Unfortunately,
raw mutexes are just as bad in that regard.
I don't think arguing about what "exposed" means in this specific
context (or perhaps in general?) or what levels of manipulation justify
the use of the term "expose" will get the discussion anywhere...
I simply pointed out a factual mistake in your argument.
