​That's not really a fair summary. The *problem* which occured on a Mac
potentially involved a complete lockout of the entire machine, for all
time.​ It wasn't a bug in piece of software, it wasn't a crash during a
live performance. It was the successful operation of a feature designed to
take away all control of the machine from the person using it.

It's entirely reasonably to say that you don't mind this feature, and
consider its existence to be a net positive rather than a net negative.

But you can't draw equivalence between this behaviour and some arbitrary
"problem" on any other system.

Exception: if it could be shown that Joern's experience was the result of a
bug OR was easily reversible, then this would put the experience back into
the same realm as other arbitrary system-specific "problems".
